摘要:
It is checked whether an ink used in a print head has a high density. The type of a printing medium used for a print operation is also identified. An image is printed by scanning the print head once or a plurality of numbers of times. When a print operation is to be performed by using a thick ink, an image is printed by using mask data and the driving frequency of the head which are set for the thick ink. When a print operation is to be performed by using a thin ink, an image is printed by using mask data and the driving frequency of the head which are set for the thin ink and the type of printing medium used for the print operation. Codes of the respective color data of print data are determined in accordance with the types of inks used for a print operation, and an image is printed by printing a plurality of dots or dots in an overlapping state by the multi-pass method.

A user interface for high-quality image output and an image processing apparatus utilizing the user interface which performs apparatus setting for appropriate printing by selecting a print medium and a print mode in accordance with the type of ink cartridge. When an exchangeable ink cartridge, containing YMCK color ink or ink having different ink densities from those of the YMCK color ink in approximately the same color hues, is attached to a printer, the type of the ink cartridge is discriminated by an ink cartridge ID, and available print media and appropriate output image types are displayed for user's selection based on the ID. Then print operation is set in accordance with instruction by the user.

The present invention is to achieve formation of a 2 n -value image with data of n bits, thereby reducing the amount of image information to be transferred and processed, while improving the tonal rendition, thereby realizing high-quality recording system in the dot matrix recording suitable for personal use. For this purpose there is disclosed an ink jet recording apparatus and a method therefor, comprising an image process unit for generating multi-value information, an identification unit for identifying that the image data are multi-value information, an identification unit for the recording head, and an analysis unit for decoding the n-bit information, and featured by effecting multi-value recording while processing the n-bit data as multi-value information.
