Abstract
Ink jet printing apparatus in response to a digital image for forming an ink image on a receiver attached to the surface of a drum rotatable about an axis. The ink jet printing apparatus includes an actuable ink jet print head movable in a direction parallel to the drum axis for delivering ink to the receiver, and rotates the drum such that the attached receiver moves at a predetermined surface velocity. The ink jet printing apparatus moves the ink jet print head at a velocity less than the predetermined velocity of the receiver so that the print head scans an area of drum surface that is skewed relative to the drum axis, and circuitry response to the digital image for simultaneously controlling the rotating and the moving means and means for actuating the inkjet print head to form an ink image within the scanned area wherein two edges of the ink image are parallel to the drum axis and two edges of the ink image are perpendicular to the drum axis.
