Abstract:
In an example, a method includes identifying, within data for use in printing, a first element set associated with a first print addressable area. The first element set may include at least one element, and each element of the set may be associated with a print material or print material combination. An element may be selected from the first element set and assigned to the first print addressable area. A second print addressable area may be identified as a candidate print addressable area for error diffusion, the second print addressable area being associated with a second element set. Any common elements of the first element set and the second element set may be identified and, if at least one common element is identified, an error associated with the selection of the element from the first element set may be diffused to the at least one common element.
