System and method for preventing printed material spreading

A Raster Image Processing (RIP) module comprising:

• an object detection module configured to receive at least one input file, detect objects in said at least one input file and create at least one image comprising a predefined number of stripes along the edges of said detected objects;
• an edge processing module configured to receive said at least one image and process said at least one image by changing the gray level of each one of said objects' stripes according to an edge processing table defining the relation between the distance from said object's edge and the gray level percentage to be printed;
• and
• a dithering module configured to receive said at least one processed image, dither said at least one processed image according to said at least one image's gray levels and output a printing ready file.
