DISCUSSION The seperation in the line segment is due to the print head being slightly tilted. You can think of the print head as having four parallel columns, each mapping to one of the CYMK colors, and each having 64 nozzles situated vertically. The nozzles, however, are not perfectly straight up and down but on a line that is slightly off from the 90-degree plane. Each column is around 1/4-in. in length, so to draw a vertical line all of the 64 nozzles fire (using the appropriate color) with each pass of the print head. So, the starting point of the top nozzle is slightly off from the dot left by the bottom nozzle's previous pass. This is what you are seeing. In terms of getting a perfectly straight vertical line, we have found that using "BEST" mode shows very little trace of this problem. Support Information Services |
