Abstract (en)
A multipass printer and printing method is described for printing an image on a sheet printing medium (37) using a page wide printing head (10). A transporting device (20) provides relative movement between the sheet printing media (37) and a first print head. A series of sheet printing media (37) are presented to the first print head for printing in sequence. The first print head prints a first sub-image of at least one set of monochromatic mutually interstitially printed sub-images of a first image onto a first sheet of printing medium (37) of the series in one pass. A sub-image of an image is printed in succession on each remaining one of the series of sheet printing media followed by printing a further sub-image of the at least one set of monochromatic mutually interstitially printed sub-images of the first image onto the first sheet printing medium (37). <IMAGE>
