    摘要: A fluid ejection device includes first, second and third nozzle rows for forming first, second and third band images, respectively. The fluid ejection device forms an image in which an edge portion at one side in a prescribed direction in the first band image overlaps an edge portion at the other side in the second band image, and an edge portion at one side in the second band image overlaps an edge portion at the other side in the third band image. The fluid ejection device carries out a halftoning process whereby a center area of a dither mask equal in size to the input data for forming a band image but having a smaller dot generation rate in the edge areas than in the center area is associated with the input data for forming the edge portion to the other side of the first band image.

    摘要: A printing apparatus includes an ink ejection nozzle configured to eject therethrough a photo-curable ink, onto a medium; and an irradiation portion configured to irradiate the photo-curable ink having been applied to the medium with the light. Further, when printing of an image is performed onto the medium by applying the photo-curable ink, the printing apparatus ejects the photo-curable ink onto the medium such that the photo-curable ink is applied onto an increased portion of an area resulting from expansion of at least one original area, in an outward direction of the at least one original area from an entire edge thereof; the printing apparatus cures the photo-curable ink having been applied onto the medium by irradiating the photo-curable ink with the light from the light irradiation portion; and the printing apparatus removes the photo-curable ink having been applied onto the increased portion from the medium.

    摘要: A liquid ejection device of the invention is constructed to eject a liquid to an ejection object. The liquid ejection device has a dot data generator configured to generate dot data from given image data, where the dot data represents a dot creation state in each pixel set on the ejection object. The liquid ejection device also has a liquid ejector equipped with a nozzle array including multiple nozzles aligned in a specific direction substantially perpendicular to a scanning direction. The liquid ejector makes multiple scans of the nozzle array in the scanning direction in a common printing area according to the generated dot data and ejects the liquid to the ejection object to create dots. The dot data generator has a specific print mode that generates corrective dot data by skipping a virtual dot array created by one scan from a group of dot arrays to be created by the multiple scans of the nozzle array, in order to prevent a potential contact with a dot array to be created by another scan. This arrangement desirably prevents unevenness of liquid ejection caused by a meandering scan of at least either the liquid ejector or the ejection object.

    摘要: A printing apparatus includes a nozzle that ejects, to a medium, photo-curing ink cured when irradiated with light, and an irradiation unit that irradiates, with the light, the photo-curing ink landed on the medium. Here, when printing an image on the medium by coating with the photo-curing ink, the photo-curing ink is ejected from the nozzle so that unevenness is formed in an original edge of the image by having a pixel that forms a dot along the edge and a pixel that does not form the dot appeared, and the photo-curing ink is cured by irradiating the image with the light from the irradiation unit.
