Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an aqueous inkjet ink includes a dispersion medium that contains water and a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol having a weight average molecular weight of 400 or more, and a pigment. The pigment accounts for less than 5 mass % of the total amount of the aqueous inkjet ink. The aqueous inkjet ink has viscosities (mPa·s) measured using a cone-plate type viscometer at 20 rpm and satisfying the following relationships: VA/VB≧1.5 VA≧10 mPa·s 3 mPa·s≦VB≦15 mPa·s, where VA is the viscosity at 30° C., and VB the viscosity at 45° C.
Abstract:
The image forming apparatus includes an upstream side chamber arranged further on an upstream side with respect to an ink flowing direction than a head in a circulating path and configured to temporarily store the ejection liquid that should be supplied to the head through the circulating path, a downstream side chamber arranged further on a downstream side than the head and further on the upstream side than the upstream side chamber in the circulating path and configured to temporarily store the ejection liquid collected from the head, and a pressure-difference adjusting mechanism configured to form a first pressure state in which the pressure in the downstream side chamber is lower than the pressure in the upstream side chamber and the head and a second pressure state in which the pressure in the upstream side chamber is lower than the pressure in the downstream side chamber.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a detecting unit, a determining unit, and a correcting unit. The detecting unit detects an overlapping portion of a first image printed on a first side of a sheet and a second image printed on a second side opposite to the first side. The determining unit determines whether the detected overlapping portion of the first image and the second image is equal to or larger than a predetermined area. The correcting unit corrects, if the overlapping portion is equal to or larger than the predetermined area, the density of one of the first image and the second image.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an inkjet recording apparatus includes a sensor, a first controller and a second controller. The sensor is provided upstream of an inkjet head in a paper transport direction and detects a state of an image forming surface of a paper. The first controller determines whether the image forming surface subjected to the state detected by the sensor is printed with a coloring material other than inkjet inks. The second controller controls to discharge the paper without image formation on the image forming surface with the inkjet head if the image forming surface is printed with the coloring material other than the inkjet inks.
Abstract:
An ink jet recording apparatus includes a color processing unit that converts print data to color data, a reaction liquid ejecting unit that has plural nozzles arranged and ejects a reaction liquid onto a recording medium, an ink ejecting unit that has plural nozzles arranged and ejects an ink onto the recording medium based on the color data, a subscanning driving unit that conveys the recording medium having an image formed by the ink ejecting unit, and a controlling unit that controls to a constant value a ratio of an amount of droplets of the reaction liquid ejected by the reaction liquid ejecting unit and a total amount of ink droplets of the ink ejected by the ink ejecting unit, with respect to each of pixels of the image formed on the recording medium.
Abstract:
An ink jet recording apparatus includes an ink jet head on which a plurality of nozzles are arranged, a sub-scan driving unit which carries a recording medium on which an image is formed, a first carrying unit which is disposed on a downstream side of a carrying direction of the recording medium by the sub-scan driving unit and carries the recording medium on which an image is formed by the ink jet head, a second carrying unit which is disposed on a downstream side of the first carrying unit along a carrying direction of the recording medium, and a heating unit which is disposed between the first carrying unit and the second carrying unit.
Abstract:
An ink jet recording apparatus including an ink jet head in which a plurality of nozzles are arranged, a sub-scan driving unit which carries a recording medium to be formed with an image, a suction unit which sucks the recording medium on the sub-scan driving unit, and a heating unit which is disposed with respect to at least one place of the sub-scan driving unit in a direction perpendicular to a carrying direction of the recording medium with a gap therebetween.
Abstract:
The inkjet recording device has the feed mechanism for feeding the paper sheet in the feed direction, the inkjet head for ejecting the droplets towards the paper sheet conveyed by the feed mechanism, the dry section for drying the droplets attached on the paper sheet by landing, and the control mechanism for predicting the amount of heat necessary for drying the droplets based on either one of the paper sheet information of the paper sheet and the recording information to be recorded on the paper sheet to control the temperature of the dry section.
