Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3498479A1] A method of printing on a substrate (12) that has a texture in the form of repetitive surface features (28) extending in a predetermined direction, in which method a scanning-type printer is used for printing an image on the substrate in a plurality of successive and adjacent swaths (36, 38), characterized by a step of determining positions of a boundary (34) between the adjacent swaths such that the boundary (34) is aligned with said predetermined direction and has a predetermined spatial relationship to the repetitive surface features (28).
