3.4.4 Print head seam stripe adjustment

The print head seam stripe adjustment is done to determine the amount of thinning of the high-duty image portion (indicated by the arrows) comprising the seam (stripe) created between the vertical bi-directional passes.

After the CMY printing by the first pass, CMY is printed again in the same way during the second pass. In the case of color printing, there are two feed methods for one pass: 64 and 128. Pattern G was made with 64 nozzles, and pattern H was made with 128 nozzles.

When you execute printing with the printer driver, seven patterns with a changing degree of thinning (indicated by the arrows) will be printed vertically.

Select the number of the pattern whose seam stripe is the least noticeable. This sets the optimum degree of thinning.
