    摘要: An ink-jet printer and an apparatus and a method of driving a recording head for an ink-jet printer are provided for faithfully performing various image representations through ink droplet ejection driving signals of different waveforms. Based on a waveform selection signal from a selection controller, a waveform selector selects one of a plurality of drive signals from a drive waveform generator in a time-division manner. The selected signal is supplied to a piezoelectric element of a corresponding nozzle. Control is thereby performed on ink droplet ejection with a drive signal having a temporally varying waveform. The drive signals include a signal having a varying voltage waveform that disables ink droplet ejection in isolation from another waveform. A new composite drive signal waveform is generated by time-divisional selection not only at a point between ejection cycles but also at a point during the ejection cycle.

    摘要: A printing apparatus forms image information and information associated therewith on a print medium. The printing apparatus receives image information from an image file stored in a recording medium, etc., and obtains information associated with the image information. The associated information includes attached information that is read out from the image file based on a file format using tags via an interface unit or added information that is input or selected in accordance with the image information. The image information is printed on the print medium, and the associated information is formed on a film sheet (laminate film), which is disposed over the image-printed surface, as a watermark. The associated information is not visible when the print medium is seen from the front, and can be seen when it is seen at an angle due to the difference in surface glossiness.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a print head (4) having an ink emitting surface (6) in which there are formed a plural number of ink emitting openings (13). An ink is emitted from the ink emitting openings (13) for forming an image on a recording medium. The image forming apparatus also includes an emission controller (41) for controlling the ink emission from the ink emitting openings (13) formed in the ink emitting surface (6). The emission controller (41) is responsive to an input image signal to control the quantity of preliminary ink emission from one or more of the ink emitting openings (13) or to select one or more of the ink emitting openings (13). In this manner, the quantity of the preliminary ink emission from the ink emitting openings (13) is controlled, or one or more of the ink emitting openings (13) is selected, responsive to the image signal, to diminish the wasteful ink emission and to clean the ink emitting openings (13) or the vicinity without damaging the ink emitting surface (6).
