ABSTRACT:
A method of printing font character bars comprised of a plurality of rows in a direction of printing movement perpendicular to the font character bars which are in turn comprised of a plurality of close adjacent dots to improve print quality at printing speeds which induce elongated dot smear in the direction of printing movement. The method comprises removing one dot or more from an end of each of the plurality of rows of a font character bar which is otherwise over-widened from dot smear. Partial dot removal can also be employed.
