Replacement of a recording head on a recording apparatus is detected on the basis of a serial number allocated to each recording head. The recording head also carries head characteristic information such as color information, shading information and so forth. When the recording head is replaced with a new one, the head characteristic information of the newly mounted recording head is automatically stored, so that head driving conditions are automatically determined to optimize the recording conditions without requiring any manual adjustment. Recovery operation is automatically executed when replacement of the recording head is detected, so that required recording conditions are recovered without manual instructions.

By ejection from each ejection opening of a liquid ejecting head, predetermined lengths of ruled line patterns are formed in order, and by ejection of an ink from an ink ejecting head, a solid pattern is printed overlaying the ruled line patterns of the liquid. In this case, the portion corresponding to the ejection opening through which the liquid cannot be ejected may be a different printing density in comparison with another portion where the liquid and the ink are overlaid. By this, non-ejection failure at the ejection opening can be detected. Therefore, in an ink-jet printing apparatus employing a head for ejecting the liquid for making a coloring agent in the ink insoluable for enhancing water resistance, the ejection condition of the head can be successfully detected.

A recording head for ejecting ink to effect recording on a recording material includes a first group of ejection outlets, arranged in a first direction, for ejecting record improving liquid for improving record property on the recording material; a second group of ejection outlets arranged in the first direction for ejecting ink having a first density; a third group of ejection outlets, arranged in the first direction, for ejecting ink having a second density which is lower than the first density; wherein the first, second and third groups are arranged in a second direction which is different from the first direction.

Disclosed is a color ink jet recording method including the step of recording a desired color image on a recording medium on the basis of recording data using a black ink and a plurality of color inks each being different from the black ink in permeating characteristics against the recording medium. In this method, the surface tension is 40 dyn/cm or less for each of the inks; and the blotting factor against plain paper is 2.5 or less for the black ink, and it is in the range of from 2.5 to 3.5 for each of the color inks. Alternatively, the surface tension is 40 dyn/cm or less for each of the inks; and the permeating rate against plain paper is one second or more for the black ink, and it is less than one second for each of the color inks.

In an ink jet head having an ink discharge head for discharging an ink, and a liquid discharge head for discharging a print improving liquid given to a printing medium for improving printability in ink jet printing, the liquid discharge head 2002 is disposed to be sandwiched between colored discharge heads 2001 and 2003 for discharging at least one set of colored inks with respect to a scanning direction. This provides an ink jet head for optimally utilizing a pre-feed technique and/or a follow feed technique in ink jet printing.
摘要:
An ink jet printing method for performing printing onto a printing medium with the use of both of a colored ink ejected from an ink jet head and a printing property improving liquid to be applied to the printing medium for improving a printing property for an ink jet printing apparatus, having the steps of: at least one time or more printing a first colored ink on the printing medium, at least one time or more applying the printing property improving liquid onto a region printed with the colored ink, and at least one time or more printing a second colored ink on a region where the printing property improving liquid is applied.
