Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for improving printed image quality. The image quality improvement is achieved by differentially curing different image elements such as continuous tone elements, uniform tinted and solid elements, color elements, line art and text elements. A delay in the activation, duration and variation in the intensity of the curing radiation or a mix of some or all of them that follows the ink droplet on substrate deposition controls the ink droplet spread and accordingly the image quality.
