Abstract

An inkjet printer includes a first printhead and a second printhead in a print zone. A controller operates an actuator to move the first printhead to a first position to enable every inkjet in a plurality of inkjets in the first printhead to eject ink onto a surface of a print medium. The controller operates a first inkjet in the first printhead that overlaps with a second inkjet in the second printhead in a cross-process direction to eject ink from only one of the inkjets for each pixel of image data that corresponds to the location of the first and second inkjets in the cross-process direction.
