Abstract
A method of printing with a fluid jet printer () is provided. The printer () has a printhead () with a fluid ejecting face () facing a recording medium (), the fluid ejecting face () having at least one fluid ejector () arranged thereon. The method includes: imparting movement to at least one of the fluid ejector () and the recording medium () such that the recording medium () moves relative to the fluid ejector () along a fast scan direction () at a velocity (v); and, selectively ejecting fluid from the fluid ejector () toward the recording medium () as the movement is being imparted, such that: (i) a main drop is formed and has a first velocity (v) in a first direction; and, (ii) a satellite droplet is formed and has a second velocity (v) in a second direction that forms an angle (θ) with respect to the first direction, wherein θ substantially satisfies the equation: tan θ=v(vcos θ)−/v].
