Summary: | A method for providing drop placement adjustment of drops deposited on a print media by a printhead in a continuous inkjet printer, the method comprising the steps of providing the printhead with a drop generator having at least one nozzle; moving the printhead relative to the print media; causing the printhead to form drops from the at least one nozzle with a drop formation period being the time between consecutive drop formations; wherein a portion of the formed drops are allowed to strike pixel locations on the print media for forming print drops, while other drops are directed toward a catcher and do not strike the print media for forming catch drops; creating a series of the print drops to print on a series of consecutive pixel locations; and adjusting a velocity of a portion of the formed print drops relative to a velocity of other print drops to adjust the placement of the print drop within the pixel locations. |
