Abstract
A method includes forming drops of first size by applying drop-forming pulses during unit time period, τ; forming drops of second size by applying drop-forming pulses during second size drop time period, τm, wherein the second sized drop time period is a multiple, m, of the unit time period, τm=m*τ, and m≧2; providing timing between drops for printing consecutive pixels is equal to τi=a*τwhere a is an integer ≧m and is a function of print media speed; forming the corresponding plurality of drop forming pulse sequences so as to form non-print drops and print drops according to the liquid pattern data; delaying the timing of the drop forming pulses sent to the transducers of the second group relative to the drop forming pulses sent to the transducers of the first group by a delay time τwhich is approximately equal to τ/2.
