Abstract
A sequence of steps for storing an image at a higher resolution in a rendering stage, and making a conversion of the image to a different asymmetrical print resolution. During the conversion corrections are made to avoid losing 'on' pixels located on an eliminated row. In some embodiments, an initial narrowing step may occur along the axis of higher resolution and a final horizontal depletion may occur along a carriage scan axis.
