Abstract
A method, a computer readable medium and an apparatus for reducing the impact of slew decap on image quality in a printing system is disclosed. In one respect, the invention pertains to a method for reducing the impact of slew decap on image quality in a printing system includes a printhead. The printhead includes a nozzle and the nozzle is configured to fire ink on a print medium. The ink is operable to produce a pixel on the print medium. The method includes producing a pixel with the nozzle. The pixel is produced by multi-dotting. Multi-dotting includes firing ink multiple times in succession from the nozzle at a pixel location corresponding to the pixel. In another respect, the invention pertains to a computer readable medium on which is embedded computer software comprising a set of instructions for performing the above method. In yet another respect, the invention utilizes an apparatus configured perform the above method.
