A method of printing with a fluid jet printer (10) is provided. The printer (10) has a printhead (12) with a fluid ejecting face (12a) facing a recording medium (14), the fluid ejecting face (12a) having at least one fluid ejector (18) arranged thereon. The method includes: imparting movement to at least one of the fluid ejector (18) and the recording medium (14) such that the recording medium (14) moves relative to the fluid ejector (18) along a fast scan direction (32) at a velocity (v.sub.m); and, selectively ejecting fluid from the fluid ejector (18) toward the recording medium (14) as the movement is being imparted, such that: (i) a main drop is formed and has a first velocity (v.sub.d) in a first direction; and, (ii) a satellite droplet is formed and has a second velocity (v.sub.s) in a second direction that forms an angle (.theta.) with respect to the first direction, wherein .theta. substantially satisfies the equation: tan .theta.=v.sub.m[1/(v.sub.s cos .theta.)-1/v.sub.d].
