Abstract
A variable speed print apparatus and method provide for adjustment of the effective print speed for each print line being printed on the work piece by determining a maximum shade value to be printed on each print line and adjusting the print speed for each line accordingly. When there is no printing on a given line of the work piece, that print line may be effectively skipped altogether.
