Claims
- 1-14. Cancelled
- 15. A method for printing a first image and a similar second image, said method comprising the steps of:
forming a sequence of graphic data blocks for each of said first and second images, said sequence forming a bitmap representative of each respective image; selecting first varying rates of travel and proportional printing rates for a print head to print each of said blocks in said first image; sequentially positioning the print head and printing said blocks in said first image at said selected first rates of travel and said print rates; selecting second varying rates of travel and proportional printing rates for said print head to print each of said blocks in said second image, said second rate of travel for a block of said second image being different than said first rate of travel for a corresponding block of said first image; and sequentially positioning the print head and printing said blocks in said second image at said selected second rates of travel and said print rates.
- 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the first rate of travel is different for each of said blocks in said first image.
- 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the first rate of travel is the same for at least two blocks in said first image.
- 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the first and second images are indicium.
- 19. Canceled.
- 20. The method of claim 15, wherein the print head positioning for the first image is identical to the print head positioning for the second image.
- 21. The method of claim 15, wherein the print head positioning for the first image is different than the print head positioning for the second image.
- 22. The method of claim 15, further comprising:
randomly reordering said blocks in at least one of said first and second image to form a new sequence; and sequentially positioning the print head and printing said blocks in said new sequence at said selected rates of travel and said print rates for said at least one of said first and second image.
