Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2189289A1] A method of dot matrix printing, in particular ink jet printing comprises the following steps. Firstly, recording a first swath (11) of corresponding print data. Secondly, feeding a medium relative to a print head in a first direction (D1) transverse to a fast scan direction (F) and over a first distance. Thirdly, recording a second swath (12) of corresponding print data at the first distance from the first swath, wherein the first distance is such that the second swath does not touch or overlap the first swath. Fourthly, feeding the medium relative to the print head in a second direction (D2) and over a second distance, the second direction being the reverse of the first direction and fifthly, recording a third swath (13) of corresponding print data at the second distance from the second swath, wherein the second distance is such that the third swath does not touch or overlap the second swath. Apparatuses for carrying out methods of the invention are also disclosed.
