Patent attributes
An ink jet printing assembly and method of use for printing on a substrate where the substrate is driven in a driving direction. The ink jet printing assembly includes a first jetting assembly having a first ink orifice and a second ink orifice and a second jetting assembly separate from the first jetting assembly having a third ink orifice. The third ink orifice is positioned between the first ink orifice and the second ink orifice in a cross substrate direction. A third jetting assembly, separate from the first and second jetting assemblies, includes a fourth ink orifice. The fourth ink orifice is aligned with the first ink orifice in the cross substrate direction. The fourth ink orifice is fired in an alternating relationship with the first ink orifice to define a generally consistent line of ink capable of minimizing the appearance of banding.
