Abstract
In the case of printing at high addressability, where the cell size is smaller than the spot size, an image can be decimated in a manner that will limit the large accumulation of printed material. The proper decimation of the image will depend on the spot size, the physics of drop coalescence and the addressability during printing. A simple method of using concentric decimation is disclosed herein to enable this process.
Claims5
A method of decimating an image having one or more features, the method comprising:
- making an image with one or more concentric outer outlines and a halftone inner fill of the features;
- and
- applying one or more masking filters for the concentric outlines and halftone fill based on the physical characteristics of the printed material.
