Abstract
A printing method is described herein. A fixer fluid is applied to a print area. The areal density of fixer fluid in a boundary region of the print area is different than the areal density of fixer fluid in an interior region of the print area. The print area corresponds to an image portion to be printed with a uniform color.
Claims15
A printing method, comprising:
- applying a fixer fluid to a print area in a manner such that the areal density of fixer fluid in a boundary region of the print area is different than the areal density of fixer fluid in an interior region of the print area,
- the print area corresponding to an image portion to be printed with a uniform color.
A printing system for printing to print medium comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- control an ink printhead assembly so as to apply ink on a print area for reproducing a uniform color thereon;
- and
- control a treatment printhead so as to apply a first areal density of fixer fluid in a boundary region of the print area and a second areal density of fixer fluid in an interior region of the print area,
- wherein the treatment printhead is configured to eject fixer fluid, and the ink printhead assembly includes a plurality of ink printheads configured to eject ink.
A tangible machine readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed implement a method performed by a printing system, comprising:
- applying fixer fluid to a print area in a manner such that the areal density of fixer fluid in a boundary region of the print area is different than the areal density of fixer fluid in an interior region the print area,
- the print area corresponding to an image portion to be printed with a uniform color.
