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.

The present invention provides an ink jet printing apparatus and an ink jet printing method which are based on the multi-pass printing method using a print head having a plurality of nozzle rows and which enables a reduction in the number of nozzles to be simultaneously driven, allowing ink to be stably ejected. On the basis of the multi-pass printing method of dividing print data into a plurality of pieces by using mask patterns, the mask patterns are offset according to the positional relationship between the plurality of nozzle rows in the print head.

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.

A recording apparatus includes a recording unit configured to record a first dot and a second dot having a diameter smaller than that of the first dot on a recording medium, and a scanning unit configured to move the recording unit in a scanning direction. A recording resolution of the second dot in the scanning direction is lower than a recording resolution of the first dot in the scanning direction.

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.

Through the use of a mask with an appropriate pattern, depending on dot size or density, in an in jet printing apparatus, image defects caused by conveyance distance errors are suppressed. More concretely, at the masking unit A an interlaced mask pattern is used and a masking process is performed with respect to 2 pl dot data obtained from the dot pattern development unit 604. On the other hand, at the masking unit B a random mask pattern is used and masking is performed with respect to 5 pl dot data. Herewith it has become possible, at all gradations, to suppress the 2 image defects, density unevenness and graininess, caused by conveyance distance errors.

An apparatus includes a printing unit configured to eject ink from a print head onto a sheet conveyed in a direction to perform printing on the sheet; a conveying unit configured to be provided on a downstream side of the print head in the direction, and configured to include a rotating member in contact with the sheet; and a reading unit configured to read a surface of the sheet on a downstream side of the rotating member in the direction, in which information on ink adhesion to the rotating member is obtained based on a result read by the reading unit.
摘要:
A waiting time Ts is decided on the basis of ink type information and ink feed amount information, referring to waiting time table A (Step 6). Along with this, a dried printing paper is carried to and stopped in a waiting area 9 (Step 7), a time period T is measured after stopping, and measurement processing in the next step is delayed until the time period T reaches the waiting time Ts. Then, when the time period T reaches the waiting time Ts, a measuring instrument 10 is used to measure a density of a patch printed on the printing paper (Steps 8 and 9).

According to this invention, an inkjet printing apparatus having an arrangement for detecting an amount of remaining ink in an ink tank starts a printing operation in a short time immediately after power-on. If an operation in preceding use is ended without any error at the time of power-off, and no error has occurred even at the time of power-on, the inkjet printing apparatus of this invention starts the printing operation without executing the operation of detecting the amount of remaining ink in the ink tank after power-on.
