System and method for generating a printed copy of a print file according to a dynamic pressure profile

A method comprising:

• at a first time, accessing a print file comprising a set of vector coordinates, defining motion of a writing instrument on a writing surface for printing a character string in a typeface corresponding to a handwriting profile of a user, and defining a pressure profile corresponding to the handwriting profile;
• during a print period for the print file:
• manipulating the writing instrument on the writing surface according to the set of vector coordinates to generate a printed copy of the character string according to the typeface;
• regulating a pressure, applied to the writing surface by a writing tip of the writing instrument, within a target pressure range according to the pressure profile;
• and
• accessing a feed of images of the writing surface captured by an optical sensor arranged over the writing surface;
• and
• during a control period within the print period:
• extracting a set of features from a first image, in the feed of images, depicting a region of the writing surface corresponding to a set of printed characters in the printed copy;
• characterizing a difference between the set of features and a target set of features corresponding to the set of printed characters;
• in response to the difference exceeding a threshold difference, detecting a character defect in the set of printed characters;
• and
• in response to detecting the character defect:
• identifying an instrument defect type, in a set of instrument defect types, associated with the character defect;
• in response to the character defect corresponding to an instrument defect type, in the set of instrument defect types, selecting a recovery mode, in a set of recovery modes, configured to mitigate the instrument defect type and rectify the character defect in the set of printed characters;
• and
• updating the pressure profile according to the recovery mode.
