Abstract
A method of indirect printing has been developed to split printing of an imaging revolution on the image drum. A portion of the image is printed on the drum corresponding from an intermediate edge to a trailing edge of image data, and subsequently a remaining portion is printed corresponding from a leading edge to the intermediate edge of the image data. Splitting the image revolution enables the imaging to begin earlier in the drum revolution and decreases the total number of revolutions needed to complete a printed page, increasing printer throughput.
