A liquid ejection device includes a liquid ejection head that ejects a liquid to a printing object, a plate-shaped member having an open portion corresponding to a printing region of the printing object with the plate-shaped member being disposed between the printing object and the liquid ejection head, and a printing object retaining unit that maintains a constant distance between the liquid ejection head and the printing region by pushing the printing object toward the plate-shaped member. The liquid ejection head ejects the liquid to the printing region of the printing object pushed toward the plate-shaped member by the printing object retaining unit.

A transfer medium manufacturing method which manufactures a transfer medium in which a color material capable of being transferred to a target is attached to a base material, includes attaching first liquid containing the color material to the base material to form a colored layer, and attaching second liquid containing resin on the first liquid attached to the base material during the step of attaching the first liquid before the first liquid is dried, thereby forming a resin layer and forming a colored resin layer where the first liquid and the second liquid are mixed with each other.

A maintenance sheet with a facing surface facing a nozzle formation surface of a liquid ejection head provided in a liquid ejecting apparatus is provided. The maintenance sheet includes a cap section that is brought into abutment with the nozzle formation surface to form a sealed space in cooperation with the nozzle formation surface when the facing surface and the nozzle formation surface have been made to approach each other relatively in a facing position where the facing surface faces the nozzle formation surface, and that is made variable in internal volume in the abutment state, a communication hole that is penetratingly formed so as to allow the inside and outside of the cap section to communicate with each other, and a valve that opens and closes the communication hole. The valve activates to open with a reduction in the internal volume of the cap section, while the valve activates to close with an increase in the internal volume of the cap section.

A printer functioning as a liquid ejection apparatus includes a recording head having nozzles, a flushing sheet feeding mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism. The flushing sheet feeding mechanism feeds a flushing sheet for absorbing ink, which is ejected from the nozzles, from a non-flushing position separated from the recording head to a flushing position facing the recording head and from the flushing position to the non-flushing position during flushing. The cleaning mechanism removes the ink absorbed in the flushing sheet after flushing.

A liquid ejection apparatus includes a liquid ejection head, a liquid receiving member, a liquid receiving member moving mechanism, and a liquid ejection head moving mechanism. The liquid ejection head ejects liquid from liquid ejection nozzles in a nozzle surface to a target transported along a target transport surface opposed to the nozzle surface. A portion of the liquid receiving member receives the liquid ejected from the liquid ejection nozzles in flushing. The liquid receiving member moving mechanism moves the liquid receiving member until an opening faces the nozzle surface in printing, and until the liquid receiving portion faces the nozzle surface in the flushing. The liquid ejection head moving mechanism moves the liquid ejection head until the nozzle surface reaches a printing position close to the target transport surface in the printing and a flushing position spaced from the target transport surface in the flushing.

Disclosed is a method for overcoating a protective layer by heating onto a printed recording medium to protect the recording medium. This method comprises providing a transferable sheet comprising a heat resistant substrate and a transferable layer, which serves as the protective layer, and a recording medium, putting the transferable sheet on the recording medium and, in this state, heating and pressing the transferable sheet and/or the recording medium to contact-bond the transferable layer onto the recording medium, and then heating and pressing the transferred layer contact-bonded to the recording medium. According to this method, a good protective layer can be overcoated onto the recording medium independently of the shape of concaves and convexes formed on the surface of the recording medium.
摘要:
A printing method that alternately repeats a transport operation that transports a continuous medium in a transport direction and an image forming operation that moves a head to form an image to thereby print out a first image and a second image, which has a smaller length in the transport direction than the first image, on the continuous medium. The printing method includes: setting a unit area, which is equal to or smaller than the size of a printing area that is printable through the one image forming operation, on the basis of the printable printing area and the size of the first image; generating print data for the unit area such that, within the unit area, an integer number of the first images are aligned at a first spacing in the transport direction, an integer number of the second images are aligned at a second spacing in the transport direction, and the integer number of the first images aligned in the transport direction and the integer number of the second images aligned in the transport direction are printed so as to be aligned in a width direction that intersects with the transport direction; and performing printing using the print data repeatedly so that, on the continuous medium, a plurality of the first images are aligned at the first spacing in the transport direction and a plurality of the second images are aligned at the second spacing in the transport direction.
摘要:
A liquid ejection apparatus includes a liquid ejection head, a liquid receiving member, a liquid receiving member moving mechanism, and a liquid ejection head moving mechanism. The liquid ejection head has a nozzle surface in which liquid ejection nozzles are formed. The liquid ejection head ejects liquid from the liquid ejection nozzles to a target transported along a target transport surface opposed to the nozzle surface. An opening larger than the nozzle surface is formed in a portion of the liquid receiving member. A portion of the liquid receiving member other than the portion corresponding to the opening functions as a liquid receiving portion that receives the liquid ejected from the liquid ejection nozzles in flushing. The liquid receiving member moving mechanism moves the liquid receiving member along a movement plane defined between the nozzle surface and the target transport surface. The liquid receiving member moving mechanism moves the liquid receiving member until the opening faces the nozzle surface in printing and until the liquid receiving portion faces the nozzle surface in the flushing. The liquid ejection head moving mechanism moves the liquid ejection head to move the nozzle surface close to or separately from the target transport surface. The liquid ejection head moving mechanism moves the liquid ejection head until the nozzle surface reaches a printing position close to the target transport surface in the printing and a flushing position spaced from the target transport surface in the flushing.
