Abstract

Ink jet printers and other systems using multi-nozzle ink jet heads can be made to print with a high degree of uniformity by assigning multiple jets (1-a, 1-b, 1-c) to each track (6). In order to avoid the throughput loss caused by simple overwriting, the marks created by the nozzles of a given track write in an interleaved mode, with interleaving performed along the track. Since each track is formed by multiple nozzles a high degree of redundancy can be achieved at a low overhead by having one or more spare nozzles (1-e) in each track.
