Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ink jet printing method includes providing an ensemble of dots to be printed. A current run is made of through the ensemble of dots to be printed, which includes, for each of dot of the ensemble of dots, deleting all neighboring dots from the current run having a distance less than at least one predetermined value and keeping non-deleted dots as remaining dots in the current run. The remaining dots are assigned to a certain layer corresponding to the current run. The remaining dots of the current run are then removed from the ensemble of dots. The foregoing steps are repeated until there are no further dots in the ensemble of dots.
