1. A method for reducing edge effects, the method comprising:
- inputting an image mask, the image mask defining the location of a boundary to receive a coating;
modifying an edge of the image mask to reduce a thickness of the coating at the modified edge;
creating a printing plate based on the modified image mask; and
utilizing the printing plate to print the coating on a substrate.
