Abstract

A printhead in a printer is configured to eject a colored ink and a clear ink. The printhead is aligned with other printheads in the printer to register the clear ink ejected by the printhead with colored ink ejected by the other printheads by ejecting the colored ink from the printhead and analyzing image data of the colored ink.
