Abstract

A method of accounting for dead nozzle remapping in a multi-nozzle printhead includes defining a first fixative plane and a second fixative plane; determining a first color plane requiring the fixative; determining if fixative is present in the first color plane; determining if the first color plane is dead; and adding fixative to a second color plane when it is determined that the first color plane is dead.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of accounting for dead nozzle remapping in a multi-nozzle printhead, the method comprising:
 defining a first fixative plane and a second fixative plane;   determining a first color plane requiring the fixative;   determining if fixative is present in the first color plane;   determining if the first color plane is dead; and   adding fixative to a second color plane when it is determined that the first color plane is dead.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first fixative plane has a higher priority than the second fixative plane. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixative defined by the first fixative plane and the second fixative plane is a multi-part fixative.
