Abstract
Methods and apparatus for determining angular position information and the printing of individual ink objects at target print sectors disbursed around an annular surface on a circular spinning media such as on a CD, dynamically during the radial printing process, are described. Mechanisms for computing the instantaneous angular position and apparatus for collocating encoder devices in close proximity to the CD rotation motor are disclosed.
