Abstract
The aim of the present invention is to propose a method for assessing and correcting the alignment of print heads carried out using at least one linear adjustment algorithm, allowing greater accuracy in the use of same by eliminating inaccuracies linked to the ejection of drops from the print heads, while limiting the use of the resources of the IT system on which the method is used. Moreover, the number of print heads of which the alignment needs to be assessed and optionally corrected has very little influence on the overall processing time required by said method.
