    摘要: A printing apparatus executes printing by arranging plural printheads, each including a plurality of print elements in a direction of a print width so as to obtain the print width corresponding to a width of a printing medium and conveying the printing medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the print width. The printing positions of part of the print elements of a first printhead in the direction of the print width overlap with part of the print elements of a second printhead in the direction of the print width. The apparatus includes a conveyor for conveying the printing medium, a mutual complementary printer performing mutual complementary printing in the overlap portion by the overlapped print elements, and a time divisional driving controller for dividing the plurality of print elements of each of the plural printheads into a plurality of blocks, with each block composed of a predetermined number of print elements, and for time-divisionally driving the predetermined number of print elements included in each block. The predetermined number differs from a number of print elements included in the overlap portion, and the time divisional driving controller controls the driving sequences of the overlapped print elements of the plural printheads to coincide with each other.

    摘要: In an ink jet printing apparatus that adopts an area grayscale system using halftone elements, this invention prevents degradations of grayscale reproducibility caused by a plurality of dots pulling each other on a print medium, and thereby realize a stable grayscale and color reproducibility. To this end dots to be applied to halftone elements, whose arrangement is determined by the halftone element-based area grayscale system, are divided into a dot group for interior halftone elements and a dot group for outline halftone elements. These two dot groups are printed with a predetermined time difference between them. The subsequent dots are then drawn to the preceding dots that are not yet absorbed in the print medium. Therefore, the overall shape and grayscale level of the merged dot in each pixel become stable, allowing for reliable image processing which in turn realizes excellent grayscale and color reproducibility.

    摘要: High quality images showing an excellent fixation are formed by an ink-jet recording method using pigment inks. An ink set for the ink jet-recording method comprises a first ink containing an anionic dye in an aqueous medium, a second ink containing an anionic dye and having a lower coloring material content than the first ink and a dispersion destabilizing substance, and a third ink containing a self-dispersible first pigment, a second pigment and a polymeric dispersant for dispersing the second pigment in an aqueous medium. The dispersion destabilizing substance destabilizes the dispersion stability of at least either the first pigment or the second pigment in the third ink when the second ink and the third ink are brought into contact with each other. The second ink and the third ink are applied onto a printing medium one after another or substantially simultaneously so that they are brought into contact with each other in a liquid state on the printing medium.

    摘要: An ink which includes a first pigment, a second pigment, a polymer dispersant and an aqueous medium; wherein the first pigment is a self-dispersing pigment having on its surface at least one anionic group bonded to the surface directly or via an atomic group, the second pigment is dispersed in the aqueous medium by the polymer dispersant, and the polymer dispersant contains benzylmethacrylate as a monomer unit, or the polymer dispersant contains benzylmethacrylate as a monomer unit. Diffusion of this ink in the printing medium is suppressed in the cross-sectional direction but not horizontal direction. Thus, the ink can form an ink dot that has a proper dot size, uniform and high density in the dot, with little feathering or blur.

    摘要: In a high print resolution, high image quality mode and a low print resolution, high speed mode, image processes are made in common between them to the extent possible, and the same gradation characteristics and image densities can be obtained between them. For this purpose, for the high image quality mode, a dot arrangement pattern is prepared for a pixel region having gradation data of K levels, which determines the presence or absence of print dots at K-1 areas, and in which the printing of 1 dot is permitted at all of the K-l areas. On the other hand, for the high speed mode, a dot arrangement pattern which determines the presence or absence of print dots at a number of areas less than K-1 is prepared, and in which the sum of the number of dots permitted to be printed at the pixel region is K-1.

    摘要: A channel selection section selects whether the subsequent processing to the image data is executed by image distribution precedence processing or by gradation lowering precedence processing in accordance with channel information of the image data. That is, in regard to the channels of C, M and K with relatively high density among inks, the image distribution precedence processing excellent in robustness is selected. On the other hand, in the ink of the color with high brightness or low density, even if the print position of the dot is shifted, the density change due to this shift is not so much large. It is possible to restrict an increase in the processing load due to executing the gradation lowering processing after the distribution processing to each of the plural divided images by thus not selecting the image distribution precedence processing in consideration of the robustness.

    摘要翻译: 频道选择部选择是否通过图像分配优先处理执行对图像数据的后续处理,或者根据图像数据的频道信息来进行灰度降低优先处理。 也就是说,关于墨水中密度相对较高的C,M和K的通道,选择鲁棒性优异的图像分配优先处理。 另一方面,在具有高亮度或低密度的颜色的墨中,即使点的打印位置偏移,由于该偏移导致的浓度变化也不是很大。 考虑到鲁棒性,通过不选择图像分配优先处理,可以限制由于在分配处理之后对多个分割图像中的每一个执行灰度降低处理而导致的处理负荷的增加。
