摘要:
An ink is ejected at the same timing from ejection orifices in a number corresponding to an ink quantity 7% or less of an ink quantity ejected from all the ejection enabled ejection orifices of a plurality of ejection orifices of a recording head, and the ink ejection period from all the ejection enabled ejection orifices is set to be 70% or more of the driving period. Since the quantity of an ink ejected per unit time is minimized, and the negative pressure level generated in a common ink chamber can be set to be closest to normal pressure, the amplitude of a refill oscillation is minimized to stabilize ejection, and the driving frequency can be further increased.

An image processing method and an apparatus capable of employing the method, which smooth notches on outlines and output an image of high quality having smooth outlines. First, edges to be smoothed are determined, then numbers of consecutive black dots in the horizontal and vertical directions are counted from originating points in the determined edge. Further, dots for correcting an original image are calculated based on the counted numbers of consecutive black dots. Thereby it is possible to perform the high speed smoothing correction efficiently, facilitating production of a high quality printing apparatus for a reasonable price.

According to this invention, upon execution of recording by ejecting an ink droplet from a recording head, a surrounding temperature sensor for measuring the surrounding temperature is provided to a main body side, and a change in temperature of the head is presumed from the past to the present time by calculation processing, so that optimal temperature control can be performed without arranging a head temperature sensor having a correlation with the head temperature. At this time, the ejection quantity can be stabilized by changing the pulse width of a driving signal on the basis of the presumed head temperature, and ejection can be stabilized by performing restoration processing.

A liquid jetting device includes a plurality of liquid passages each having a liquid ejecting element and communicating with an ejection hole, a common liquid chamber communicating with each of the plurality of liquid passages and an air bubble introducer for making a non-disappearable air bubble formed by thermal energy exist in the common liquid chamber before a start of liquid ejection. The liquid is allowed to be ejected in the presence of the air bubble. The non-disappearable air bubble functions as a buffer to absorb pressure during discharge to restrict flow of the ink in the direction opposite to the discharge port.

A paper feed operation is performed by a width less than one pixel (½) in addition to an integer multiple number of pixels (n/2) with respect to a basic number of pixels inherent to an ink jet recording apparatus having a multi nozzle head having n nozzles. When a plurality of pixel recording operations are performed for a single pixel region, ink dots land within a distance less than one pixel unit (½). Thus, a variation in ink surface density on a recording sheet in an overlapping print operation is reduced, thereby efficiently increasing the image density, and preventing blurring by promoting absorption and evaporation of an ink to and from a paper sheet.

摘要:
In the process of correcting a color deviation caused by output characteristic variations among different colorants in a printing apparatus, a method of printing a test pattern allows an appropriate and highly accurate visual detection of the color deviation. More specifically, the test pattern has a plurality of patches printed therein, each of which has placed adjacent to each other a test area to be checked for the color deviation and a reference area serving as a criterion for color deviation and which has the test area and the reference area repeated alternately. If the colors of the two areas look different during the comparison of only one pair of the test area and the reference area, the pattern of the two alternately repeated areas makes the colors of the two areas appear more uniform, alleviates a high color difference sensitivity and thereby enables easy identification of a patch that matches the accuracy of the correction performed according to the color deviation detection.
