摘要:
The ink jet recording apparatus includes: first ink tanks that are replaceable and contain first inks containing colorants; a second ink tank that is replaceable and contains a second ink containing no colorant; third ink generating means to generate third inks by mixing the first inks and the second ink; and third ink tanks that contain the generated third inks with different mixing ratios and can supply the third inks to recording heads for selective ejection.

An image formation apparatus provided according to the present invention does not generate any printing density streaks in low density areas of an image and is therefore capable of outputting stabilized images without any density unevennesses and density streaks in any tonality. The apparatus is structured so as to correct density signals in accordance with a correction table 1 for indicating the recording characteristics of each of the recording elements of the head and the recording characteristics indicated by this correction table 1, and to drive the recording head in accordance with a correction table 2, which does not allow the fore-going corrections to be made when the density signals are lower than a given density, and the density signals corrected by this correction table 2.
摘要:
An ink ejection control method for an ink jet recording apparatus having a recording head, and an ink jet recording apparatus, include features of detecting operating conditions relating to a state of ink ejection from the recording head, detecting temperature adjacent to the recording head and changing a driving signal for driving the recording head for ejecting ink from the recording head, on the basis of the results of the state detection and the temperature detection.
摘要:
An ink jet recording device includes a recording head unit having discharge ports for discharging ink, ink channels communicating to the discharge ports and leading the ink thereto, and an ink tank unit for storing ink to be supplied to the recording head unit. The recording head unit consists of a device for storing parameter information concerning the ink discharge characteristics, and a protective member disposed on a side face area adjacent to the discharge port formation face for preventing the ink from flowing around.

Replacement of a recording head on a recording apparatus is detected on the basis of a serial number allocated to each recording head. The recording head also carries head characteristic information such as color information, shading information and so forth. When the recording head is replaced with a new one, the head characteristic information of the newly mounted recording head is automatically stored, so that head driving conditions are automatically determined to optimize the recording conditions without requiring any manual adjustment. Recovery operation is automatically executed when replacement of the recording head is detected, so that required recording conditions are recovered without manual instructions.

摘要:
An ink jet printing method for performing printing onto a printing medium with the use of both of a colored ink ejected from an ink jet head and a printing property improving liquid to be applied to the printing medium for improving a printing property for an ink jet printing apparatus, having the steps of: at least one time or more printing a first colored ink on the printing medium, at least one time or more applying the printing property improving liquid onto a region printed with the colored ink, and at least one time or more printing a second colored ink on a region where the printing property improving liquid is applied.
摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus, including a plurality of recording heads each having an ink outlet, a liquid passage communicating with the outlet and an ejection energy generating element for generating energy for ejecting ink through the outlet; a refresher for refreshing the ink in the passage by driving the ejection energy generating element to eject the ink when a recording operation of the apparatus is not performed; and a controller for changing a driving condition for the ejection energy generating element by the refresher for the recording heads.

摘要:
In an apparatus to perform printing by ejecting an ink and a printing quality improving liquid for making a coloring agent in the ink insoluble or coagulated, reaction between the printing quality improving liquid and the coloring agent of the ink is certainly caused. Namely, after ejecting the printing quality improving liquid from a head, Bk ink, Y ink, M ink and C ink are ejected through heads within a given period, e.g. 500 msec. By this, the printing quality improving liquid may react with the coloring agent of the ink before penetrating into a printing medium to certainly make the coloring agent insoluble or coagulated.
