Abstract
The present invention provides a dynamic adjustment for black ink volume to print a black object whose height is greater than one swath of the inkjet printer. The black ink volume is increased by using a greater number of nozzles compared to the number of nozzles used to print color or a second fluid for underprinting the black ink.
