Abstract
The method includes forming first size drops by applying drop forming pulses during a unit time period τ; forming second size drops by applying drop forming pulses during a second size drop time period, τm, which is a multiple, m, of the unit time period; forming the corresponding plurality of drop forming energy pulse sequences so as to form non-print drops and print drops; delaying the timing of the drop forming energy pulses sent to the transducers of the second group relative to the drop forming energy pulses sent to the transducers of the first group by a delay time τ, characterized by τbeing equal to d*τwhere d is 1½ to 9½, when printing at a first speed and τapproximately equal to f*τtimes where f is 1½ to 9½, f is greater than d when printing at a speed slower than the first speed.
