Abstract
The invention is directed to a method of manufacturing a printhead in an ink jet printer for jetting an ink onto a print medium. An advance speed of the print medium in a feed direction in the ink jet printer is determined. An approximate drying time of the ink after being jetted onto the print medium from the printhead is also determined. At least two rows of ink emitting orifices are formed in the printhead, with each row of orifices extending substantially across a width of the print medium. Each row of orifices is spaced apart from an adjacent row of orifices in the feed direction a distance which is dependent upon the advance speed of the print medium and the drying time of the ink.
