SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING CHARACTER EDGE FORMATION ON NON-ABSORBENT MEDIA

摘要

Method of operating an ink jet printer that forms text data with non-absorbent media ink on non-absorbent media, the characters being provided with a structure that improves the integrity of the edges of the characters compared to previously known systems. The method includes modifying character pixels in image data to generate print signals for the operation of ink jets in a print head of an ink jet printing device, the generation of print signals for the operation of ink jets from the modified character pixels and the operation of ink jets in the print head with the generated print signals Eject drops of non-absorbent media ink onto non-absorbent media to form characters on the non-absorbent media. By modifying the character pixels, a number of character pixels in a connection area of a character are reduced that have a value that corresponds to a print signal for activating an ink jet.
