Abstract
A method of printing which includes providing a print zone and a substrate. The print zone has a print zone length and multiple print regions in which ink drops are sequentially deposited on the substrate. The substrate and the print zone are moved relative to one another while controlling the rate of relative motion such that subsequent drops are deposited after previous drops from an adjacent previous print region have substantially wicked into the substrate and such that the substrate passes the print zone length before the substrate is substantially distorted by cockling.
