Abstract
A method of reducing printing artifacts in a printing apparatus including a plurality of printing plates, each of which is produced by successive scans of an array of imaging devices wherein the printing artifacts are caused by defective operation of one or more of the imaging devices. Printing artifacts are visually minimized by staggering the imaging devices used to produce separation plates. By staggering the imaging devices, the distance between artifacts can be reduced thereby causing the artifact reproduced in the final composite image to be less accentuated.
