An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a recording head adapted for ejecting at least two colors of ink, a discriminater for discriminating between character data and bit map data, and a controller for selecting a character data recording mode or a bit map data recording mode in accordance with a discrimination result by the discriminater. The controller controls an amount of ink ejection in the bit map data recording mode to be less than that in the character data recording mode.

An ink jet printing method prints an image on a printing medium by ejecting ink and printabilty improvement liquid containing a substance for improving printablity of the ink to the printing medium. At this time, ejection of the ink and ejection of the printability improvement liquid onto the printing medium are achieved such that the position where the printability improvement liquid is applied and the position where the ink is applied are different from each other, but partially overlap when the ejected printability improvement liquid comes into contact with the ejected ink on the printing medium.

When the color printing is performed using a recording head arranged such that number of nozzles for discharging black ink is greater than the number of nozzles for discharging inks of other colors, the use frequency of some nozzles among all the nozzles for discharging the black ink is higher, so that image unevenness may arise when transferred to the black printing. The present invention relates to an ink jet recording method and an ink jet recording apparatus in which the image unevenness often seen in the black printing involving the use of more nozzles than other colors, and the blur of recorded image seen in the image having black images adjacent color images located are reduced.

Disclosed is a color ink jet recording method including the step of recording a desired color image on a recording medium on the basis of recording data using a black ink and a plurality of color inks each being different from the black ink in permeating characteristics against the recording medium. In this method, the surface tension is 40 dyn/cm or less for each of the inks; and the blotting factor against plain paper is 2.5 or less for the black ink, and it is in the range of from 2.5 to 3.5 for each of the color inks. Alternatively, the surface tension is 40 dyn/cm or less for each of the inks; and the permeating rate against plain paper is one second or more for the black ink, and it is less than one second for each of the color inks.

摘要:
A thermo-sensitive recording apparatus individually controls the energization level of each of a plurality of heater elements formed on a substrate and constituting a thermal print head. In generating each energization level, the present and previous status of an individual heater element and selected neighboring elements are taken into consideration. Other factors combined in a selectively weighted manner include the latent heat of the individual heater element and its neighboring heater elements, the resistance of the heater element, the percentage of heater elements to be activated during the printing of a line, and the temperature of the substrate.

A thermal head is provided with a plurality of juxtaposed heat generating resistors for applying heat to heat sensitive printing medium for reproducing a picture. The resistance values of the heat generating resistors are individually detected at predetermined times and used to update the contents of a memory means. An arithmetic operating circuit calculates quantities of electric power to be supplied to respective heat generating resistors for causing them to generate the same quantity of heat irrespective of the difference in the resistance values of the heat generating resistors.

A thermal head drive circuit with the input connected to a source of printing data and the output connected to a thermal head including heater elements, so as to improve the picture quality of a thermal head recording apparatus for printing successive lines. Improved picture quality is effected by using data from previously printed lines to compute a corrected pulse energy for the line being printed. The circuit uses a heat storage state operator for operating the heat storage state of each of the heater elements constituting a thermal head, a pulse energy operator for computing a printing pulse energy to be applied to each of the heater elements, a memory for storing the electrical pulse energy used in the previously printed line, and a counter to count the number of dots on the line to be printed. The pulse energy operator uses data from the heat storage state operator, the counter, and from the memory which has data on the pulse energy used in previously printed lines. The output of the pulse energy operator is connected to a pulse generator which is used to drive the heater elements of a thermal head.
