摘要： A plurality of ejection portions are divided into groups, each containing at least one ejection portion, so that the suction-based recovery operation can be performed for each group independently. Since the number of ejection portions contained in each group differs, if an ink flow resistance varies among the different groups, simultaneous suction-based recovery operations can be done by using a common suction pump, without having to sequentially perform the suction-based recovery operations under an optimum pump driving condition. For this purpose, inner diameters of a plurality of ink discharge tubes running from a plurality of cap units, which cap a plurality of print head units having different numbers of ejection portions, to the common pump are differentiated. This allows different flows to be produced in different ink discharge systems, thus generating desirable ink flows for individual ink supply systems.

摘要： For a recording apparatus capable of supplying a plurality of different color inks to a plurality of recording element substrates, when a condition for performing maintenance on a first recording element substrate is met, it is determined whether or not to perform maintenance on a second recording element substrate according to how close the second recording element substrate is to meeting the condition. Since maintenance is performed on the first and second recording element substrates in such a manner, unnecessary maintenance operations will be prevented from being carried out multiple times within a short period of time. Accordingly, the total amount of time required for maintenance is reduced.

摘要： When three primary color inks and a particular color ink having a hue different from those of the three colors are used, the number of passes with regard to the same printing area is changeable, thereby speeding up a printing operation and improving color development at a gamut expressed by the particular color ink to achieve high quality images. Use or non-use of the particular color ink is switched according to the number of passes corresponding to quality information. If a high speed data generation processing is not required but sufficient color development is achieved, namely if the number of passes is large, the use of the particular color will expand the color reproduction gamut. If the high speed is required, namely if the number of passes is small, non-use of the particular color ink will reduce the number of colors of the usable inks.

摘要： An ink jet printing apparatus includes a print head that is an array of a plurality of nozzles arranged according to each color of ink in a predetermined direction. The apparatus is provided with a plurality of print modes, each using a different number of colors of ink for printing. In a print mode using a smaller number of colors of ink for printing (e.g., a monochrome print mode) out of the plurality of print modes, a print method is adopted, in which an image of a predetermined area is formed by a greater print pass count than the print pass count for the predetermined area in a print mode using a greater number of colors of ink for printing (e.g., a color print mode).

摘要： The present invention provides a print apparatus and a printing method which enable high-grade images to be output at high speed without the need to drastically reduce the number of printing elements used to print leading and trailing end portions of a print medium. A first mask pattern used to print a middle portion of the print medium is different from a second mask pattern used to print the leading or trailing end portion of the print medium. The present invention thus eliminates the need to drastically reduce the number of printing elements used to print the leading or trailing end portion as with the prior art.

摘要： An ink-jet printing method, an ink-jet printing apparatus and an ink-jet printing system, which are free from the deterioration of color development effect even if a plurality of color inks are used, caused by the overlap of different color inks on a printing medium, are proposed. For this purpose, when density data quantized to several ranks are converted finally to binary data by using predetermined dot arrangement patterns, a dot arrangement pattern different from those for other color inks is prepared for a particular color ink. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce as much as possible the probability that the particular color ink is overlapped with the other inks on the printing medium, whereby the color development of the particular color ink is effectively facilitated.

摘要： A recording apparatus is configured to record an image on a recording medium by repeating a recording operation and a conveying operation. The recording operation is operative to apply a recording agent to the recording medium using a recording head while moving the recording head for scanning in a direction different from a predetermined direction. The recording head includes a plurality of recording elements arranged in the predetermined direction and adapted to apply the recording agent. The conveying operation is operative to convey the recording medium in a direction transverse to the scanning direction. The recording apparatus includes a recording control unit configured to perform the recording operation such that a number of the recording elements which are used to record an image on at least one of a front end portion and a rear end portion of the recording medium is reduced at a rate as compared to that of the recording elements which are used to record an image on a central portion of the recording medium, and a recording mode selecting unit configured to select a recording mode from a plurality of recording modes differing from one another in at least one of recording quality and recording time. The recording control unit changes the rate of reduction according to the recording mode selected by the recording mode selecting unit.
