A voltage pulse that keeps the ejection volume within a specified range is selected for a plurality of print element columns, based on the heater rank and ink temperature information that influences the ejection volume during ink ejection. At this time, the voltage pulse is controlled so that the voltage value of the pulse is equal for a plurality of print element columns at any ink temperature and varies according to the ink temperature. This control process enables pulses of the same voltage value to be applied at all times to a plurality of nozzle columns even if these nozzle columns in the print head have different heater ranks. As a result, the ejection volumes of all nozzle columns can be kept within a specified range with high precision over a wide range of base temperature, without requiring complicated circuit configurations.

An ink jet printing apparatus and method are provided which can satisfy in a well-balanced manner both an improvement of image uniformity and a reduction in glossiness variations. A plurality of print modes are prepared which include: a first print mode to perform a printing operation in a way that makes equal print ratios of the plurality of nozzle arrays; and a second print mode to perform a printing operation in a way that makes a print ratio of at least one of nozzle arrays situated at ends of the plurality of nozzle arrays smaller than print ratios of other nozzle arrays. The user selects from the plurality of print modes an appropriate one that strikes a balance between uniformity and glossiness and thereby can achieve a desired quality of image.

Without newly providing a curling inhibition apparatus or a curling inhibitor and without placing excessive restrictions on a composition of an ink or a printing properties enhancing liquid, curling after printing is suppressed. In an ink jet printing apparatus which performs printing on a printing medium by ejecting from a printing head an ink and a reaction liquid which reacts with the ink, said apparatus comprising; means for on the basis of ink ejection data for ejecting the ink onto an one side of the printing medium, generating reaction liquid ejection data for ejecting the reaction liquid onto an other side of the printing medium.

A printing apparatus includes a plurality of full-line type printheads. The printing apparatus holds information relating to overlap nozzles that overlap between a reference printhead and an adjustment printhead, generates discharge data for causing a tilt adjustment pattern to be printed by nozzles disposed in different positions in the overlap nozzles that overlap between the reference printhead and the adjustment printhead, and causes ink to be discharged from the nozzles in the overlap nozzles that overlap between the reference printhead and the adjustment printhead based on the discharge data. In this manner, the tilt adjustment pattern is printed on a printing medium.

A recording apparatus includes a processing unit configured to convert acquired image information into dot data, and an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording medium based on the image information converted into dot data by the processing unit, wherein the processing unit enlarges an image of the acquired image information to a size protruding into margins formed at both side ends of the recording medium, then converts the image information into dot data, and then, based on side end position information of the recording medium detected by the detection unit, processes the image information converted into dot data so that image formation is not performed on portions of the enlarged image protruding into the margins.
摘要:
Each of four areas of 2×2 in one pixel has four sub areas and the four sub areas correspond to four nozzle arrays A to D. In the sub area of each area, information showing what nozzle array is used for a print of the area is defined. The sub area filled in black shows performing therein a print of a dot using nozzles in the nozzle array corresponding to the sub area. In this way, the dot arrangement pattern has information showing the nozzle array to which nozzles used for printing an area belong, for each area. Therefore, without executing the particular data allocation processing such as mask processing, the allocation of the dot data to the plurality of nozzle arrays can be carried out with a simple arrangement.
