Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9014957A1] In the particular embodiments of the invention described in the specification, the banding effect resulting from bidirectional printing in an ink jet printer is eliminated by interlacing the lines (26, 27) produced by the ink jet head (23) during motions in opposite directions so that the combination of the spacing between adjacent lines and the edge raggedness (32) or color contrast of the lines is less than the lower limit required for visual detection of banding.
