The method further includes, during a print period: manipulating the writing instrument on the surface according to the set of vector coordinates to generate a printed copy of the string; regulating pressure applied by the writing instrument to the surface according to a pressure profile; and accessing a feed of images of the surface. The method further includes, during the print period: detecting a character defect of a defect type in a set of printed characters, in the printed copy, based on features extracted from an image in the feed of images; selecting a recovery mode configured to mitigate the defect type; and updating the pressure profile according to the recovery mode. ## Claims ### Claim 1 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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising, during the control period: in response to detecting the character defect: disabling motion of the writing instrument on the writing surface; and recording a position of the writing tip relative the writing surface; and in response to confirming execution of the recovery mode: returning the writing tip to the position; and reactivating motion of the writing instrument on the writing surface.
