摘要： An ink jet recording apparatus adjusts at least one of a preliminary discharge time representing a time until the subsequent preliminary discharge is performed and a compensated time determined on the basis of the time elapsed since the previous preliminary discharge, so that the preliminary discharge is performed at a predetermined preliminary discharge hole. Accordingly, the ink jet recording apparatus is capable of recording on different kinds of recording media in a manner suitable for each of them without using a complex control process, and of performing the preliminary discharge according to the size of the recording media. In addition, a reduction in the throughput is prevented by using the ink jet recording apparatus.

摘要： An ink-jet printing apparatus, for printing an image based on image information on a printing medium by relatively moving an ink-jet printhead, detects the temperature of the ink-jet printhead by using a head temperature detection unit and outputs it to a driving frequency determination unit. The driving frequency determination unit acquires temperature information in units of pages of image information or predetermined image areas. If the acquired temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the driving frequency of the ink-jet printhead is decreased when a predetermined unit of the image information is printed.

摘要： By using an ink jet head, which has for each color two parallel columns of nozzles arranged side by side in the main scan direction and shifted from each other by one-half the pitch at which the nozzles are arranged in each column, odd-numbered rasters and even-numbered rasters making up an image are printed by the two nozzle columns. The registration between the odd- and even-numbered rasters is secured during the printing to produce an image with high print quality. For that purpose, the ink ejection timing between the two raster groups is shifted by a predetermined interval to form a plurality of adjustment patterns; the adjustment patterns printed are checked and, according to the check result, an adjustment value for the ink ejection timing between the two ink nozzle columns is entered, and the entered adjustment value is stored to be reflected on the actual printing operation. To facilitate the adjustment pattern check, the plurality of adjustment patterns have a dot distribution with a blue noise characteristic at a resolution at which the printing apparatus can print.

摘要： An apparatus and method are provided to enable high speed printing of an image with high resolution while suppressing degradation of image quality due to white stripes and density variations. In an ink jet printing apparatus using a multi-pass printing system, the same scan print area is divided at a predetermined pitch and the printing duties of the divided areas determined by the thinning out mask pattern are set to different values. In regard to the same scan print area formed by a plurality of the main scans, the divided areas corresponding to the ends of the print head have their printing duties set smaller than those of the divided areas on the inner side of the ends of the print head.

摘要： The present invention provides a printing apparatus and method that can prevent the image grade from lowering. A print head is provided with a plurality of printing elements to print dots on N adjacent rasters and dots on M adjacent columns under different conditions by causing the print heads perform a plurality of (P) main-scanning operations in a main-scanning direction and transporting a printing medium at least once in a sub-scanning direction. A plurality of dot arrangement patterns used for the same level of image data are periodically changed. The plurality of dot arrangement patterns are such that within each period when the patterns are repeatedly used, the number of dots formed in each of said N rasters are equalized, whereas the number of dots formed in each of said M columns are equalized.

摘要： This invention provides an image processing apparatus capable of outputting a color image by reducing the information amount of each color component of the image by a method suited to the color component without deteriorating the quality of the image, and an image printing apparatus capable of printing an image without deteriorating the quality of the image, on the basis of received image data. Of color image data to be transmitted to the image printing apparatus (which uses, e.g., six colors Y, M, C, Bk, LC, and LM), the image processing apparatus quantizes colors (LC and LM) whose tone quality is important by a large number of gray levels (e.g., nine values), and does not compress these colors. The image processing apparatus quantizes colors (Y, M, C, and Bk) whose tone quality is not important by the number of gray levels (e.g., five values) by which the compression efficiency is improved, and then compresses these colors, thereby reducing the transmission data amount. The image printing apparatus prints the image of received image data by directly using uncompressed data and expanding compressed data.
