Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and program for reducing toner in an image comprised of raster pel data. A determination is made of pels surrounding subject pels. For each subject pel, a sub-pulse width power is generated to charge a sub-pel region within the subject pel based on a pattern of the surrounding pels of the subject pel. Further, for each subject pel, position information is generated indicating an alignment of the sub-pel region in the pel. The position information is used to position the sub-pel region produced by the sub-pulse width power in the pel.
