Abstract
The present invention provides printers and methods of forming an image. One embodiment of the invention provides a printer including a frame; a drive assembly coupled with the frame and configured to transport media along a media path within the printer; an imaging assembly configured to receive a plurality of images and provide the images upon the media; and an image controller configured to selectively vary the resolution of the images. A method of forming an image according to the invention comprises providing media at a print velocity; providing a first reference signal; converting the first reference signal to a second reference signal; forming an image upon media according to the second reference signal; following the forming, outputting media having the image thereon; and adjusting the second reference signal responsive to the forming.
