Abstract (en)
A matrix print head (9) including a plurality of printing element (10-29) arranged in one or more straight lines is mounted for lateral movement across a print line at more than one angle. In a draft mode of operation (9) the angle is chosen to provide a greater spacing between printing elements relative to the print line than is realized in a final, or quality mode (9A) wherein the angle is chosen to provide a smaller spacing between printing elements relative to the print line. The print head operated in this manner can be for a variety of different printer types, for example, a wire matrix printer or an ink jet printer.
