An ink jet head cartridge includes an ink jet head unit having an ink passage in which an energy generating element for generating energy used to discharge ink is disposed, and an ink tank adapted to store the ink to be fed to the ink passage and having a vent opening for permitting the interior of the ink tank to communicate with the atmosphere and being formed integrally with the ink jet head unit. In the ink jet cartridge an area where an ink absorber is disposed, and an air area at least a part of which is defined by a tubular member and which is filled with air, are formed in an internal space of the ink tank, and a porous member is disposed in an air passage extending from the air area to the vent opening. An ink tank can be incorporated into the above-mentioned ink jet head cartridge, and an ink jet recording apparatus utilizing the above-mentioned ink jet head cartridge can be provided.

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.

Provided is an ink for ink-jet recording, comprising a dye, water, and the components (a), (b), and (c) below:(a) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of higher alcohol-ethylene oxide adducts represented by General Formula [1], alkylphenol-ethylene oxide adducts represented by General Formula [2], ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers represented by General Formula [3], and acetylene glycol-ethylene oxide adducts represented by General Formula [4], at a content of from 0.1 to 20% by weight;R--O--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n --H 1where R is alkyl, and n is an integer; ##STR1## where R is alkyl, and n is an integer; ##STR2## where R is alkyl or hydrogen, and n and l are respectively an integer; ##STR3## where m and n are respectively an integer; (b) thiodiglycol; and(c) urea or a derivative thereof.
摘要:
An ink-jet recording apparatus ejects droplets of a recording-improvement liquid on a boundary line between two different color portions of an image by using an ink-jet recording head. The ink-jet recording head comprises a group of nozzles for ejecting the recording-improvement liquid which is responsible for precipitating or condensing a coloring substance in the ink. Accordingly, a high-quality image that comprises black-color portion with a high image density without causing any feathering and multiple-color portions without a spread of ink can be obtained.

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.
摘要:
If it is detected that the number of times of ejection recovery operations performed in the past by the request of a user during an ink jet recording operations is greater than or equal to a designated relatively large value, for example “2”, the ink jet recording apparatus judges that an ejection recovery operation is relatively necessary for itself and that the number of times of ejection recovery operations to be performed when the electric power supply is turned on is increased. As a result in the ink jet recording apparatus, it will be appreciated that an optimal ejection recovery operation can be established in response to an operational condition of the ink jet recording apparatus and that the unnecessary waste of ink fluids can be prevented and the size of the recording apparatus can be reduced.
