An ink printing process employs per-nozzle droplet volume measurement and processing software that plans droplet combinations to reach specific aggregate ink fills per target region, guaranteeing compliance with minimum and maximum ink fills set by specification. In various embodiments, different droplet combinations are produced through different printhead/substrate scan offsets, offsets between printheads, the use of different nozzle drive waveforms, and/or other techniques. These combinations can be based on repeated, rapid droplet measurements that develop understandings for each nozzle of means and spreads for expected droplet volume, velocity and trajectory, with combinations of droplets being planned based on these statistical parameters. Optionally, random fill variation can be introduced so as to mitigate Mura effects in a finished display device. The disclosed techniques have many possible applications.

Ambient temperature based flow rates can in an example include a setting a flow rate of ink to a printhead mounted in a carriage based on an ambient temperature associated with the printhead, measuring a flow rate of ink to the printhead, and causing a decrease in a velocity of the carriage in response to the flow rate of ink satisfying the threshold flow rate.

The control member may control the droplet discharging member such that amounts of droplets may be substantially identical in the regions of the substrate for the pixels if the numbers of the nozzles of the droplet discharging member with respect to sides of the regions of the substrate for the pixels are different in the first direction. The control member may identify patterns of discharged droplets in the regions of the substrate for the pixels and adjusts the amounts of the droplets form the nozzles of the droplet discharging member by controlling operation of each of nozzles of the droplet discharging member.
