摘要： To enable the printing in which it is difficult for the dot to stand out and it is difficult for the gradation sequence properties to be degraded. Therefore, among plural dots each having a different size, the binary processing is carried out by using the same first dot arrangement pattern in regard to the large and medium-sized dots and the binary processing is carried out by using a dot arrangement pattern different from the first dot arrangement pattern in regard to the small-sized dots.

摘要： On performing a predetermined printing operation, whether or not, among a plurality of printing elements, only a part of the printing elements are applied is detected. If it is judged that only the part of the printing elements are used, a judgment is made whether or not the preliminary discharge operation is performed based on the number of discharges for the part of the printing elements, and if it is not judged that only the part of the printing elements are used, a judgment is made whether or not the preliminary discharge operation is performed based on the number of discharges for all of the printing elements of the printing head. This eliminates an unnecessary preliminary discharge for non-printing elements even in a printing operation mode in which only a part of the printing elements are applied.

摘要： The objective of the present invention is to provide an inkjet printing apparatus that can efficiently feed printing media stored in a media storage unit, while at the same time minimizing the reduction in a printing speed during the ejection recovery operation, and an inkjet printing method therefor. Thus, according to the present invention, the ejection recovery operation is performed during a period extending from the end of printing for a preceding printing medium which is fed first by a feeding unit, to start of printing for a succeeding printing medium. The recovery operation is controlled at this time in accordance with a feeding condition under which the feeding operation performed by the feeding unit is determined.

摘要： A region for quantization having a value lower than the value B is assumed as having little influence by Bk data on the pixels in this region. Thus, in order to prioritize the optimization of the granularity at the start of the input of GY data, the LUT having a combination of GY and gy as an input as an input is used to perform separation quantization. On the other hand, since a region having a value equal to or higher than the value B requires the use of Bk data, the LUT having only a combination of Bk and GY as an input as an input is used to perform quantization. As a result, the number of types of pieces of ink data referencing the table can be 2, thus suppressing an increase in the table size.

摘要翻译： 假设具有低于值B的值的量化区域被Bk数据对该区域中的像素的影响很小。 因此，为了优先化GY数据输入开始时的粒度优化，将具有作为输入的GY和gy的组合的LUT用作输入，以执行分离量化。 另一方面，由于具有等于或大于值B的值的区域需要使用Bk数据，所以使用仅具有作为输入的Bk和GY的组合的LUT作为输入进行量化。 结果，参考该表的墨水数据的数量的数量可以为2，从而抑制了表格尺寸的增加。

摘要： In an inkjet printing method of performing printing on a printing medium by ejecting inks from a printing head configured to eject chromatic inks and an achromatic ink while moving the printing head, high-quality printing with few boundary stripes produced when the amount of inks is large is realized without complicated control being performed. To this end, print data in a boundary and the vicinity thereof is divided into unit regions, and for each unit region, performed are (A) a first reduction processing which determines a hue of the unit region based on amounts of the chromatic inks, and reduces the amount of chromatic inks applied to the unit region according to the determined hue; and (B) a second reduction processing which reduces an amount of achromatic ink based on the amount of achromatic ink applied to the unit region.
