According to this invention, upon execution of recording by ejecting an ink droplet from a recording head, a surrounding temperature sensor for measuring the surrounding temperature is provided to a main body side, and a change in temperature of the head is presumed from the past to the present time by calculation processing, so that optimal temperature control can be performed without arranging a head temperature sensor having a correlation with the head temperature. At this time, the ejection quantity can be stabilized by changing the pulse width of a driving signal on the basis of the presumed head temperature, and ejection can be stabilized by performing restoration processing.

A color ink jet printing apparatus including a single suction mechanism having a capping member designed to cap any one of the printheads of the apparatus and carrying out a suction recovery of that capped printhead. A plurality of additional caps which are not associated with the suction mechanism are provided for capping the printhead. Various printing moving schemes are devised to provide quick and efficient positioning of selected printheads opposing the suction mechanism to speedily service that printhead.

In the recording method and apparatus, ink is ejected by thermal energy produced by a heat generating element of a recording head in response to application of driving signals thereto, the driving signals being of plural waveforms including a fixed waveform. The method includes the steps of detecting a temperature of the recording head and applying the driving signals to the heat generating element of the recording head. The waveforms of the driving signals are changed in accordance with the temperature of the recording head when the temperature of the recording head is below a predetermined level, and the waveforms of the driving signals comprise the fixed waveform when the temperature of the recording head exceeds the predetermined level.

There is disclosed an ink-jet head for performing recording by discharging an ink, including a discharge port for discharging the ink, and an ink channel which communicates with the discharge port and is provided with a discharge energy generating element for discharging the ink. An optical element is arranged at a position, corresponding to the ink channel, of the ink-jet head. There are also disclosed an ink-jet apparatus using the ink-jet head and a substrate for the ink-jet head.

An ink jet recording apparatus and method for forming an image including a text region and a halftone region. The text region contains at least a part of a character and/or a thin line thinner than a predetermined thickness, and the halftone region contains a dot image on a recording medium. An image is formed by ejecting ink from recording heads in response to an input signal. The apparatus or method identifies the text region and the halftone region of an image on the basis of the input signal, expels black ink onto a recording area on the recording medium so as to form at least a part of the text region in a first scanning of the recording heads, expels a plurality of inks including the black ink onto the recording area so as to form at least a part of the text and the halftone regions in a second scanning, and repeating the first scanning and the second scanning on the next recording area after incrementing the recording medium.
摘要:
When an image to be recorded has a density to be recorded by using thin ink of thick and thin inks, areas of dots recording from ink discharge ports arranged normally to a main scan direction of a recording head are irregularly varied so that a variation of density in a low density area is reduced.

An image forming apparatus includes a charger for charging an image bearing member. The charger includes a charging member contacted to the image bearing member and supplied with a voltage. The charger functions both as discharging device and charging device by switching a voltage applied thereto. The apparatus is made smaller, simpler and less expensive in cost.
