Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing image data is described. An example of a method involves applying a first mask to image data corresponding to an overlap zone of a first print region, the first mask representing a first mask pattern and applying a second mask to image data corresponding to the overlap zone of a second print region, the second mask representing a second mask pattern. Each of the first and second mask patterns define a periodic variation in a dimension corresponding to the first direction. First and second mask patterns for at least a second image plane are spatially separated in the dimension corresponding to the first direction in relation to first and second patterns of a first image plane.
