Abstract:
An inkjet printer implements a method for identifying values for parameters for pixels to be printed by the printer. The method uses thresholds in a stochastic screen with a set of functions for the parameter for each primary color supplied to the printheads in the printer to identify values for the parameters. The parameters can be, for example, a number of drops to print for a color, a size of the drops to eject to form a pixel, or the number of inkjets to operate to form the pixel.
