ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a method of inhibiting a print artifact on a print medium using an ink jet printer. The ink jet printer includes a tri-color ink jet cartridge assembly with a cyan ink, magenta ink and yellow ink defining available color inks which may be selectively jetted onto the print medium. The ink jet cartridge assembly is scannable in a scan direction and the print medium is movable in an advance direction. During normal printing, the ink jet cartridge assembly is scanned across the print medium and prints on the print medium using the available color inks. When an impending printer pause is detected, the ink jet cartridge assembly is scanned across the print medium in a scan immediately prior to the printer pause and prints on the print medium using only the cyan ink and the yellow ink. Immediately after the printer pause, the ink jet cartridge assembly is scanned across the print medium without advancing the print medium in the advance direction and prints on the print medium using only the magenta ink.
