Abstract
A skewed substrate pixel array printing machine includes a frame; a printhead mounted to the frame for printing pixels onto a platen; a device for providing relative motion between the printhead and a platen; and a platen for printing thereon. The platen has a platen axis parallel to a direction of the relative motion between the printhead and the platen; and a rectangular area thereon for printing onto. The rectangular area importantly has an edge thereto that forms an image defect preventing first skew angle with the platen axis.
