    摘要: In some examples, a printing system includes a printhead comprising a nozzle array including plural columns of nozzles to deliver printing fluid to a print medium, wherein nozzles in a first column of the columns are offset from nozzles in a second column of the columns. A controller is to control printing onto the print medium using the printhead by, for each respective pass of a plurality of passes of the printhead over the print medium, controlling an advance of the print medium for a print mask pattern that controls firing of the nozzles of the printhead, where the controlled advance of the print medium causes nozzles from different columns of nozzles of the nozzle array to deliver dots of printing fluid to a given row of a swath in successive passes of the plurality of passes.

    摘要: Print masks for multiple pass print modes are described herein. In at least some examples herein, the print mask includes mask matrices. The mask matrices define a single nozzle actuation pattern. The nozzle actuation pattern is irregular. In at least some examples herein, techniques for printing of an image on a substrate are described. During printing the image on the substrate a print mask is applied such that, for each pass, the inkjet nozzles in the print head are actuated according to the single nozzle actuation pattern.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for processing image data is described. An example of a method involves applying a first mask to image data corresponding to an overlap zone of a first print region, the first mask representing a first mask pattern and applying a second mask to image data corresponding to the overlap zone of a second print region, the second mask representing a second mask pattern. Each of the first and second mask patterns define a periodic variation in a dimension corresponding to the first direction. First and second mask patterns for at least a second image plane are spatially separated in the dimension corresponding to the first direction in relation to first and second patterns of a first image plane.

    摘要: A pagewide array (PWA) print bar of a printing device prints a calibration pattern on a print medium. The print bar is nominally perpendicular to a media advancement direction in which the print medium advances relative to the PWA print bar during printing. An image of the printed calibration pattern is optically scanned, and a skew angle by which the PWA print bar deviates from true perpendicular to the media advancement direction is calculated based on the optically scanned image. The printing device is calibrated to compensate for the calculated skew angle during subsequent printing.

    摘要: Print apparatus is controlled to execute a print operation comprising a plurality of print sweeps onto a print zone of a print substrate and a corresponding plurality of print advances of the print substrate between successive print sweeps. Print apparatus is controlled to execute an intermediate cutting operation between a pre-cut print sweep and a successive post-cut print sweep of the plurality of print sweeps.

    摘要: In some examples, a printing system includes a printhead comprising a nozzle array including plural columns of nozzles to deliver printing fluid to a print medium, wherein nozzles in a first column of the columns are offset from nozzles in a second column of the columns. A controller is to cause introduction of a grain pattern into an image printed using the printhead onto the print medium by, for each respective pass of a plurality of passes of the printhead over the print medium, controlling an advance of the print medium by an uneven advance step for a print mask pattern that controls firing of the nozzles of the printhead, where the advance of the print medium by the uneven advance step causes an irregular pattern of firing of the nozzles of the printhead in successive passes of the plurality of passes.

The print material usage estimation device may further comprise a ratio calculator to calculate a ratio between second print material usage and first print material usage over the specified time period. The print 10 material usage estimation device may further comprise an estimator to estimate total print material usage for an instructed print job based on a predetermined first print material usage for the print job and the calculated ratio.
