Abstract
It is desirable to cover up or mask the stitch joint error. This invention provides systems and methods for indexing the position of a sheet of recording medium conventionally and then measuring the position of the sheet of recording medium accurately by a sensor. Data in the printhead is shifted so that the data is accurately aligned within a predetermined pixel accuracy to the known paper position. This invention covers up the resulting stitch joint error by modifying the pixels at the stitch joint interface to mask the apparent error.
