摘要:
A recording apparatus having a recording head provided with plural ink discharging outlets for discharging ink includes a detector for detecting temperature distribution in the recording head relating to recording operation of the recording head; a calculator for processing temperature data; and a controller responsive to an output of the calculator. The controller provides a uniform temperature distribution in the recording head by controlling a recording speed of the recording head.

An ink jet recording apparatus includes ink ejecting outlets for ejecting ink, an ink container for containing the ink to be supplied to the ejecting outlets, ink supply passage for supplying the ink from the container to the ejecting outlets, a recovery system for forcedly ejecting the ink through the ejecting outlets. The recovery system repeats the forced ejecting action, and a quantity of the ink ejected by one forced ejecting action is larger than an inside volume of the ink supply passage.

There are provided ink jet printing method and apparatus which assure that reciprocable printing can be realized at a high speed without any deterioration of a quality of printing. When an image is printed on a printing medium by using a multi-orifice head of which the ink ejecting direction relative to an opening surface is inclined in the return scanning direction, a scanning speed of the return scanning direction is delayed from the scanning speed in the reverse forward direction, an offset distance between a main dot and a satellite at the time of the return scanning is suppressed to be small, and in the case that printing is performed by reciprocable scanning, the satellite is received in the main dot not only during the forward scanning but also during the return scanning.

In a color ink jet recording system for performing color image recording on a recording medium using a plurality of recording heads and different color inks, the thinning ratio for at least one (e.g., black K) of the recording heads is set to be different from the thinning ratio for the remaining recording heads (e.g., cyan C, and the like). The total implantation quantity of the black ink can be twice the normal quantity without increasing the number of times of scan operations, and without causing boundary blur, and the print density of black can be increased.

This ink jet recording apparatus makes it possible to reduce the requisite number of times that preliminary ejection is performed for the purpose of ejection recovery through suction, which must be effected to such a degree as to make color mixing on the recording paper sufficiently inconspicuous. With a plurality of recording heads using inks of different lightnesses, ejection recovery is performed successively on the recording heads in accordance with the descending order of ink lightness. In addition, the number of preliminary ejections after ejection recovery to be performed on the next recording head is also controlled, thereby attaining a still greater effect. In a method aspect, the present invention includes an initial discharge step for discharging ink from a recording head, interrupting the discharge of ink for an appropriate period set in accordance with the ink lightness, and discharging ink again from the discharge ports of the recording head after the interruption.

An ink jet cartridge, removably mountable on an ink jet recording apparatus, includes a recording head and an ink tank containing recording liquid. The head and cartridge are removably connected through an engaging member provided on the ink tank and an engaged member provided on the recording head. When the ink tank and the recording head are not combined, a protecting cover provided on the recording head can protect sensitive components of the recording head, while partially overlapping the side of the link tank and being integrated therewith when the recording head and ink tank are combined.

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.
摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus is disclosed in which a bubble is created in ink by thermal energy generated in response to a drive signal applied to a heater, and the ink is ejected onto a recording material by expansion of the bubble. The recording apparatus includes a driving device and a changing device. The driving device applies a plurality of driving signals to the heater for each ink droplet ejection. The driving signals include a first driving signal for increasing a temperature of the ink adjacent the heater without creating the bubble, and a second driving signal after the first drive signal for ejecting the ink. An interval is provided between the first and second drive signals. The changing device changes a width of the first drive signal to adjust an amount of ejected ink. The interval is not shorter than 2.6 microseconds and the second drive signal has a constant width.
摘要:
In the recording method and apparatus, ink is ejected by thermal energy produced by a heat generating element of a recording head in response to application of driving signals thereto, the driving signals being of plural waveforms including a fixed waveform. The method includes the steps of detecting a temperature of the recording head and applying the driving signals to the heat generating element of the recording head. The waveforms of the driving signals are changed in accordance with the temperature of the recording head when the temperature of the recording head is below a predetermined level, and the waveforms of the driving signals comprise the fixed waveform when the temperature of the recording head exceeds the predetermined level.
