Abstract
A method of printing data defining an arrangement of a first set of image elements within an array of first and second sets of image elements. The first set may have a different color characteristic than the second set. At least one mode may be selected for placement of colorant-based representations of the image elements of the first set onto a print medium based on one or more values corresponding to the percentage of image elements of the first set in at least one of the array and one or more portions of the array. Colorant-based representations may be placed onto the print medium according to the at least one mode selected and in the arrangement defined by the data.
