Abstract
The system and methods described maintain composite color print integrity of an inoperative ink-jet. The methods may include a computing device and a printer to obtain the print job and reconstruct a pixel bitmap. The methods may also include a sensor configured to generate output signals associated with the individual ink-jets located in the print-head to indicate inoperative ink-jets and help compensate for those ink-jets.
