Ghosting

The temperature of the print cartridge affects the size of the dots it prints. When the cartridge is warmer it produces slightly larger dots than when it is cool. Several things affect the temperature of the cartridge including the ambient temperature, the number of dots that have recently been printed and the cartridge heater circuit. This change in temperature and subsequent spot size causes what is referred to as “ghosting” or “parasitic suppression”. Ghosting can occur when printing unidirectional if their is an area in the image in which the cartridge is not firing (i.e. a white box within a filled area). Since the cartridge cooled down while it wasn’t printing, a light area can appear adjacent to the non-printed area. This light area is “ghosting”. By using the cartridge heaters to warm the cartridge in these non-printed areas, the change in temperature and therefore “ghosting” is minimized.
