A method of printing comprising firing a first group of one or more printheads at a moving medium at a first firing angle to the medium and firing a second group of one or more printheads at the moving medium at a second, different, firing angle to the medium.
A printer comprising a plurality of fixed printheads and a carrier for moving a print medium with respect to the printheads wherein one or more of the printheads are arranged to fire ink at a first angle to the print medium and one or more of the printheads are arranged to fire ink at a second angle to the medium, the second angle being different to the first angle.
A printhead arrangement comprising a first group of one or more printheads and a second group of one or more printheads wherein the first group of printheads are arranged to eject ink in a first direction and the second group of printheads are arranged to eject ink in a second, different, direction such that, in use, ink ejected from the printheads will fall on a print medium substantially along a common axis on the print medium.
