ABSTRACT:
A method for performing drop placement by an imaging apparatus utilizing diluted color inks and full strength color inks includes defining a matrix that identifies all possible drop locations at an output resolution; defining primary drop locations in the matrix for at least one color based on predefined criteria, the at least one color including a diluted color; defining secondary drop locations in the matrix for the at least one color; and establishing rules to assign input data received at an input resolution to particular locations of the primary drop locations and the secondary drop locations in the matrix.
