摘要： This ink jet recording apparatus makes it possible to reduce the requisite number of times that preliminary ejection is performed for the purpose of ejection recovery through suction, which must be effected to such a degree as to make color mixing on the recording paper sufficiently inconspicuous. With a plurality of recording heads using inks of different lightnesses, ejection recovery is performed successively on the recording heads in accordance with the descending order of ink lightness. In addition, the number of preliminary ejections after ejection recovery to be performed on the next recording head is also controlled, thereby attaining a still greater effect. In a method aspect, the present invention includes an initial discharge step for discharging ink from a recording head, interrupting the discharge of ink for an appropriate period set in accordance with the ink lightness, and discharging ink again from the discharge ports of the recording head after the interruption.

摘要： There are used heads which eject a black (Bk) ink and processing liquid of relatively low penetrability, respectively, and heads which eject cyan (C), magenta (M) and yellow (Y) inks of high penetrability, also respectively. When monochromic characters or images are to be printed, the Bk ink and processing liquid are ejected in this order, and then the C, M and Y inks are ejected while being thinned out. When color images are to be printed, on the other hand, the processing liquid is ejected first, and the C, M or Y ink, depending on the color of the images to be printed, is ejected. This allows the processing liquid to react with the Bk or color ink, to realize high OD, and high-speed fixation by penetrability of the color ink.

摘要： A liquid container for a liquid jet recording apparatus includes a first chamber containing negative pressure producing material and having a liquid outlet. At a lower part of the cartridge and contactable to the liquid jet head, the liquid container supplies liquid from the cartridge to the liquid jet head. An air vent allows ambient air into the cartridge. A second chamber communicates with the first chamber by means of a communication part, except for which the second chamber is substantially hermetically sealed. The second chamber is disposed at the lower part of the cartridge and provides a liquid reservoir for the first chamber. Ambient air is introduced through an air path substantially free of negative pressure producing material, having an inlet in the first chamber separated from the air vent by the negative pressure producing material, and an outlet arranged to be lower than the inlet during use of the cartridge to enable air to be supplied to the second chamber through the negative pressure producing material and the air path as liquid is withdrawn from the liquid outlet.

摘要： An ink jet head supplies an ejection heater arranged in a liquid path with a driving signal to impart heat energy to ink to thereby generate a bubble therein. The bubble is caused to communicated with the atmospheric air, and ink is ejected through an ejection outlet. A heat keeping circuit supplies the ejection heater with a driving pulse having a time width insufficient for causing ink to be ejected during non-printing period in an appropriate duty corresponding to the head temperature condition, thereby causing the ejection heater to generate heat to effect heat keeping on the head, whereby a low-cost thermal ink jet printing system is provided which does not entail a variation in ejection amount during printing.

摘要： According to the present invention, there is provided an ink jet recording apparatus for recording an image on a recording medium by discharging ink to the surface of the recording medium, wherein ink is reserved in an ink tank including a negative pressure generating member, such as an absorber and a foaming member, and a function of accurately detecting the residual quantity such that depletion to a predetermined level can be detected is realized. Light emitted by a photointerrupter is allowed to pass through a portion of a wall surface of the ink tank made of transparent plastic or the like which is transmissible with respect to detection light emitted by the photointerrupter to detect change in the light reflectance in the boundary portion between the wall surface and the ink absorber. In accordance with reflectance obtained in a case where no ink exists in the detected portion and that obtained in a case where ink exists, the residual quantity of ink can be detected.
