摘要:
In an ink jet printing apparatus that adopts an area grayscale system using halftone elements, degradation of grayscale reproducibility caused by a plurality of dots pulling each other on a print medium can be prevented, and thereby stable grayscale and color reproducibility can be realized. To this end dots to be applied to halftone elements, whose arrangement is determined by the halftone element-based area grayscale system, are divided into a dot group for interior halftone elements and a dot group for outline halftone elements. These two dot groups are printed with a predetermined time difference between them. The subsequent dots are then drawn to the preceding dots that are not yet absorbed in the print medium. Therefore, the overall shape and grayscale level of the merged dot in each pixel become stable, allowing for reliable image processing which in turn realizes excellent grayscale and color reproducibility.

The present invention provides an ink jet printing apparatus and a preliminary ejecting method. In both a full-line and a serial printer, the amount of ink passing through nozzles of print heads is sometimes decreased below a normal value before and during actual printing, In the printer of present invention, a preliminary ejecting operation is performed taking the opportunity in which the amount of ink passing through nozzles is decreased below a normal value. Then, the amount of ink passing through nozzles recovers to the normal value at an ink ejection after the preliminary ejecting operation. Since only a small amount of ink is ejected through the nozzles during the preliminary ejection operation, dots formed on a print sheet are not noticeable. Further, it is unnecessary to move the print heads to a home position where an ejection recovering process is executed to remove ink having an increase viscosity.

In an ink jet printing apparatus that performs printing by using an ink and a processing liquid that renders the ink insoluble, an effect the mist of the processing liquid or substances insolubilized by it has on the ejection performance of the ink head or processing liquid head is reduced. The distance between the processing liquid head 101S and the print paper 103 carried by the belt 111 is set larger than the head-to-paper distances of other heads 101Bk, 101C, 101M, 101Y. As a result, the mist generated by the ejection of the processing liquid from the head 101S diffuses in a recessed space formed by the heads 101Bk and 101C on both sides of the head 101S and thus hardly reaches the ink nozzle surfaces of these heads on both sides.
摘要:
An ink which includes a first pigment, a second pigment, a polymer dispersant and an aqueous medium; wherein the first pigment is a self-dispersing pigment having on its surface at least one anionic group bonded to the surface directly or via an atomic group, the second pigment is dispersed in the aqueous medium by the polymer dispersant, and the polymer dispersant contains benzylmethacrylate as a monomer unit. Diffusion of this ink in the printing medium is suppressed in the cross-sectional direction but not horizontal direction. Thus, the ink can form an ink dot that has a proper dot size, uniform and high density in the dot, with little feathering or blur.

A semiconductor device including a semiconductor chip sealed with an encapsulating resin. Columnar electrodes are connected to electrode pads of the semiconductor chip, and extend through the encapsulating resin. The columnar electrodes are made from bonding wires and include enlarged outer ends. Solder balls are arranged on the surface of the encapsulating resin and connected to the outer ends of the columnar electrodes. In another example, pin wires are formed by half-cutting bonding wires, bonding one end of each of the bonding wires, and cutting the bonding wires at the half-cut portions.
