Abstract
A digital image containing design elements to be printed and a background not to be printed is processed before printing to prepare a cropped version of the image by detecting and removing areas of background from the top, bottom, right, and left sides of the image. The cropped version of the image and associated positioning information are supplied to the printing system for printing. By reducing the size of the image provided to the printing system to eliminate areas that will receive no color ink, the area that must be traversed by the inkjet print heads is reduced, thereby reducing the time required to complete the printing process and allowing a larger number of items to be printed during a given period of time.
