Abstract

A method of jet printing is disclosed in which a jet printing fluid source advances in a helical progression with respect to a drum, and drops from the jet printing fluid source are guided to a substrate in steps that define a swathing order that separates their trajectories. A printing system is also disclosed in which a digital filtering function is applied to a desired input position value to obtain a guiding value for a drop of printing fluid.
