Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a scanning inkjet printing control method, which adopts a specific step mode to solve the problem of poor image quality caused by characteristic errors of a printing apparatus and different ink compositions, and specifically includes the following steps:
s1, acquiring the nozzle resolution of the printing equipment currently used and the printing resolution required by the image to be printed;
specifically, the head resolution includes an inherent resolution in the step direction and a maximum resolution in the scan direction, the inherent resolution is the number of nozzles that the head has per inch in the step direction, and the maximum resolution is the maximum number of times the head ejects ink per inch in the scan direction; the printing resolution includes a first resolution required in a stepping direction and a second resolution required in the scanning direction of the image to be printed. In this embodiment, the scanning direction is perpendicular to the stepping direction, the scanning direction is perpendicular to the nozzle arrangement direction, and the stepping direction is parallel to the nozzle arrangement direction.
S2, acquiring the printing covering times in the unit area of the image to be printed according to the nozzle resolution and the printing resolution;

s21, acquiring a first covering time according to the inherent resolution and the first resolution;
s22, acquiring a second covering time according to the maximum resolution and the second resolution;
and S23, acquiring the printing covering times according to the first covering times and the second covering times.
In this embodiment, the first covering times are as follows:
wherein, P1Representing said first number of coverages, f1Represents a first resolution, d represents an intrinsic resolution; the second covering times are as follows:
wherein, P2Representing said second number of coverages, f2Representing a second resolution, fmRepresents the maximum resolution; the number of printing coverage times is as follows:
P＝P1×P2
wherein P represents the number of print coverage.
In another embodiment, in order to further eliminate errors caused by machine characteristics and ink characteristics and improve printing quality, the image data may be subjected to feathering or filtering, so as to improve the print coverage in a unit area of an image to be printed, and the print coverage is improved according to different feathering degrees and filtering coefficients, wherein the print coverage is 2 times higher than before when the feathering is 100% and the print coverage is 2 times higher than before when the filtering coefficient is 0.5, and the feathering amplitude and the filtering coefficient are selected according to customer requirements.
S3, acquiring a stepping mode of the spray head relative to a printing medium in the stepping direction in the printing process according to the printing covering times;

When the machine has low printing accuracy and low printing speed and the printing width of the image to be printed is large, a Z-shaped stepping mode can be selected, and the Z-shaped stepping mode has small change of stepping distance each time, short stepping distance and high printing speed.

Then, each sub-image data is split into a plurality of intermediate data according to the height of the nozzle, the nozzle correspondingly extracts the corresponding intermediate data in each sub-image data for printing during each scanning printing, and for the reciprocating scanning printing, when the nozzle enters the printing area and leaves the printing area, part of the nozzles do not discharge ink, therefore, blank data filling is carried out on the sub-image data which enters the printing area and does not discharge ink according to the number of the nozzles which do not discharge ink, as shown in fig. 6, the number of the nozzles which do not discharge ink during the first scanning is 3F during the entering of the printing area, the number of the nozzles which do not discharge ink during the second scanning is 2F, the number of the nozzles which do not discharge ink during the third scanning is 1F, the blank data amount which needs to be filled by the sub-image data D1 is 3F, the blank data amount which needs to be filled by the sub-image data D2 is 2F, and the blank data amount which needs to be filled by the sub-image data D3 is 1F, the sub-image data D4 does not need to be padded with data amount.
