    Abstract: A recording head recovery system includes a recording head, a cleaning liquid tank for storing cleaning liquid, a cleaning liquid supplying path which connects together the cleaning liquid tank and the recording head, a liquid supply mechanism which is provided in the cleaning liquid supplying path, and a controller. The controller performs recording head recovery operation including cleaning liquid supplying operation for supplying the cleaning liquid from liquid supplying openings of the recording head, wiping operation for wiping an ink ejection face of the recording head while a wiper retains the cleaning liquid, and backflow operation for controlling the liquid supply mechanism to make the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid supplying path to flow from the cleaning liquid supplying openings to the cleaning liquid tank.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a recording head, a controller, and a correction processor. The controller determines a nozzle corresponding to an image to be printed, and causes the recording head to eject ink from the nozzle. The correction processor detects an abnormally ejecting nozzle out of the nozzles in the recording head, and designates the abnormally ejecting nozzle as a target nozzle, and performs correction processing based on a status of the target nozzle, to the image. The correction processor also adds the detected abnormally ejecting nozzle to history data, each time a detecting operation is performed, and selects a nozzle included in the history data as an additional target nozzle, out of the nozzles that have not been detected as the abnormally ejecting nozzle, through the current detecting operation, and adds the selected nozzle to the target nozzle.

    Abstract: A printing device (100) is provided with: a conveyance device (3) that performs a conveyance operation in which a feeding operation to feed a recording medium (7) and suspension of the feeding operation are repeated; a plate device (2); and an ink ejection device (1). The ink ejection device (1) performs a scan to move a head (8) when the feeding operation is suspended. The conveyance device (3) performs the feeding operation once each time one scan is completed, and is configured to change the amount by which the recording medium (7) is fed by one feeding operation.

    Abstract: The head (8) of an ink discharge device (1) discharges ink into a recording medium being conveyed. A movement unit (12) moves the head (8) in the height direction (Z-axis direction) when the printing surface of the recording medium is set as the front surface. A controller (10) sets a discharge time gap, which is the gap between the nozzle (81) and the printing surface during ink discharge, in accordance with the image to be printed and the recording medium. The controller (10) causes the movement unit (12) to move the head in the Z-axis direction so as to reach the set discharge interval.
