Apparatus and methods are provided for wide format inkjet printing using
conventional piezoelectric inkjet print heads that each print at a native
resolution. A plurality of inkjet print heads are disposed in a print
head array to print an image on the substrate at the native resolution
across an entire width of the substrate without scanning across the width
of the substrate. The print head array may be shifted in a direction
parallel to the width of the substrate, and the print head array may be
used to print images on the substrate in multiple passes to form a
composite image having a resolution equal to a multiple of the native
resolution. Alternatively, a plurality of print head arrays may be
provided, with adjacent print head arrays spaced apart to provide a
composite print resolution equal to a multiple of the native resolution.
