Abstract
In an inkjet printer, a method for compensating for an inoperable inkjet includes identifying a density of image data in a region having a predetermined length in a process direction and at least one pixel corresponding to the inoperable inkjet. One other inkjet in the printer is operated to print ink drops onto an image receiving surface at a plurality of locations corresponding to the plurality of activated pixels for the inoperable inkjet in response to the identified density for the region exceeding a predetermined density threshold.
