Abstract
When a print nozzle or other firing element of an ink jet print head fails, printed image quality suffers. In a print head where there are additional printing elements that continue to work and that are adjacent the failed element, a failed firing element can be compensated for by increasing the firing rate of, or firing pulse duration to, one or more printing elements that are adjacent to the failed element. Additional ink deposited on the printing medium will bleed onto areas that are normally printed onto by the failed firing element.
