Methods and apparatus for inkjet printing
First Claim
1. A system for inkjet printing, comprising:
- at least one apparatus for inkjet printing having;
a first inkjet print head including a first plurality of nozzles adapted to selectively dispense a first ink;
a second inkjet print head including a second plurality of nozzles adapted to selectively dispense a second ink; and
a set including the first and second print heads arranged such that the set is adapted to dispense the first and second inks into respective adjacent color wells of a display pixel on a substrate during a printing pass; and
a stage adapted to support the substrate and transport the substrate below the at least one apparatus for inkjet printing during the printing pass.

13. A method of inkjet printing, comprising:
-
grouping a plurality of inkjet print heads into a set;
arranging the plurality of inkjet print heads in the set such that the set is operable to dispense different inks into respective adjacent color wells of a display pixel on a substrate during a printing pass; and
employing the set to dispense the different inks into respective adjacent color wells of the display pixel on the substrate during the printing pass. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of inkjet printing, comprising:
-
at least one of;
offsetting a first inkjet print head within a set including first and second inkjet print heads relative to the second print head in a direction perpendicular to a print direction by an offset amount; and
rotating the set about a central axis;
positioning the set to a home position; and
starting inkjet printing using the set such that inks from the first and second print heads are dispensed into respective adjacent color wells of a display pixel during an inkjet printing pass. - View Dependent Claims (20)
