ABSTRACT:
Ink jet printing apparatus forms a color image from the digital image file and high-resolution annotation information relative to the color image on a receiver in response to a digital image and annotation information. The ink jet printing apparatus includes a print bar disposed at a first image transfer position across at least a portion of the width of the receiver and adapted to deliver colorants to the receiver to form a color image on the receiver, and a print head assembly spaced from the print bar and disposed at second image transfer position and adapted to be moved in a direction across the width direction of the receiver for delivering ink to the receiver to form annotation information on the receiver. The ink jet printing apparatus further includes control circuitry which causes the print head assembly to be transported relative to the receiver and for transporting the receiver relative to the print bar and the print head assembly. Print head drive electronics is responsive to the annotation information and the digital image for respectively actuating the print head assembly and the print bar to form a color image and annotation information relative to such color image on the receiver.
