Abstract

A controller adapted for an inkjet printing system is described. The controller can include an analyzer and a prefire inserter. The analyzer can be configured to determine whether a nozzle arrangement should generate a fire pulse in a current line, and whether the last preceding fire pulse was further in the past than an interval value threshold N. The prefire inserter can be configured to insert one or more prefire pulses into the N lines before the current line.
