Abstract

A printing process determines a maximum pixel printing rate of a printer. An area coverage of an image to be printed is estimated. When the area coverage multiplied by the printing speed exceeds the maximum pixel printing rate, the area coverage of the images to be printed is automatically reduced and the resulting image is printed.
