Abstract
In an embodiment, a method for controlling a printer is provided. The method includes: receiving a set of parameters associated with a printer by a computing device, wherein the printer is depositing ink on a substrate to generate a line; measuring a width of the line by the computing device; receiving a duty cycle associated with the printer by the computing device; using the received duty cycle, the set of parameters, and a model, estimating one or more unknown parameters of the set of parameters by the computing device; receiving a desired width of the line by the computing device; and if the desired width is not the same as the measured width: adjusting the duty cycle associated with the printer based on the set of parameters and the model so that the measured width is closer to the desired width by the computing device.
