To drive an inkjet printhead having an array of printing elements, where the first and second printing elements which discharge relatively different amounts of ink are arranged on the same array in a predetermined direction, print data for the first or second printing element is serially inputted, the inputted print data is sequentially stored, the stored print data is latched, a selection signal indicative of which of the first or second printing element is to be driven is inputted, a driving signal indicative of a driving period is inputted, and respective printing elements are driven in accordance with the latched print data, the selection signal, and the driving signal. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the cost of the printhead having plural types of printing elements, which discharge relatively different amounts of ink, and possible to easily control driving of the printhead.

In a multipass printing using a print head which has a plurality of staggered columns of print elements, one and the same print line is formed by using nozzles (k1-129, k2-1) of different nozzle columns (k1, k2) to disperse the directivity of landing deviations of dots in the same print line.

A printing head having a nozzle group for ejecting an ink and a nozzle group for ejecting a printing ability improving liquid is used, and printing control is made so that the number of scannings of the printing head is increased as a print duty increases, thereby reducing generation of mist due to rebounding of the ink or the printing ability improving liquid from a printing medium side.

An alterable storage unit is included in a control apparatus to store code conversion tables for transforming type data or type position data into various control data such as a hammer pressure, an amount of ribbon feed and an amount of proportional space. When a type element is replaced with another, code conversion tables concerned with the new type element are stored in the storage unit. This permits the code conversion tables to be altered or renewed concentratedly in the event of type element replacement.

A data processing apparatus, a data processing method and an inkjet printing apparatus are offered that are capable of reducing, in any kind of image, the occurrence of color unevenness while achieving a high speed output via a bi-directional printing. In order to achieve this, forward scan print ratio and backward scan print ratio with respect to a predetermined area comprising a plurality of pixels is set based on multi-value image data of the predetermined area. Next, binary print data for the forward scans and binary print data for the backward scans at the predetermined area is generated based on the multi-value image data and the set print ratios. According to such a configuration it is possible to increase the ratio of bi-directional printing with respect to areas at which color unevenness appears with difficulty, and increase the ratio of one-directional printing at areas where color unevenness appears with ease.

A printing apparatus prints by discharging inks from respective nozzle arrays, the printhead having a plurality of nozzle arrays including at least a first nozzle array, a second nozzle array, and a third nozzle array, and the first nozzle array and the second nozzle array being arrayed to be shifted in a nozzle arrayed direction. The printing apparatus controls the first and second nozzle arrays to discharge inks to form a plurality of first patterns. The printing apparatus controls the third nozzle array to discharge inks to form second patterns while changing a shift amount in a direction which intersects with the nozzle arrayed direction with respect to the plurality of first patterns. The printing apparatus calculates an adjustment value required to adjust relative printing positions between the first nozzle array and the third nozzle array in the intersecting direction using the first patterns and the second patterns.

The present invention provides a printing apparatus and a printing method according to which, even when misalignment in mounted print heads or a print medium conveying error has occurred, a high quality image can be printed by performing one-pass printing or multi-pass printing of a time division driving method. In a case wherein a plurality of nozzles are divided into a plurality of blocks to perform time division driving method, the driving order for the plurality of nozzles in the print head is changed in accordance with a displacement of a plurality of nozzles employed to print on the same raster.

A substrate reworking system (1) improves rework tact time and eliminates unnecessary reworking to perform efficient reworking. The system (1) includes: a defect information acquisition unit (2) for acquiring defect information for an entire region on the target substrate (9); a reworking unit (3) having at least one liquid drop discharge unit (6) for dispensing a liquid drop to a defective part on the target substrate (9) based on the defect information acquired by the defect information acquisition unit (2); and a rework determining unit (4) for determining, for each target substrate (9) and based on the defect information acquired by the defect information acquisition unit (2), whether the reworking unit (3) needs to perform reworking.
