1. A printing system, comprising:
- a print engine for printing at a native resolution;
a bitmap for at least a portion of an image at a higher resolution, wherein said higher resolution is higher than the native resolution; and
a processing unit for using a window structure for processing the bitmap to generate output for controlling the print engine to produce a printed output that simulates the higher resolution.

Abstract
The present invention provides an approach to simulating increased printer resolutions. The present invention comprises a printing system that includes a print engine for printing at a native resolution. Also, the printing system includes a bitmap for at least a portion of an image at a higher resolution, wherein the higher resolution is higher than the native resolution. Further, the printing system has a processing unit for using a window structure for processing the bitmap to generate output for controlling the print engine to produce a printed output that simulates the higher resolution.

14. In a printing system with a print engine for printing in a native resolution, a method for simulating printing at a higher resolution, the method comprising:
-
providing a bitmap for at least a portion of an image having the higher resolution, wherein the higher resolution is higher than the native resolution; and
using a window structure for processing the bitmap to generate output for controlling the print engine to produce a printed output that simulates the higher resolution.
