摘要： By using an ink jet head, which has for each color two parallel columns of nozzles arranged side by side in the main scan direction and shifted from each other by one-half the pitch at which the nozzles are arranged in each column, odd-numbered rasters and even-numbered rasters making up an image are printed by the two nozzle columns. The registration between the odd- and even-numbered rasters is secured during the printing to produce an image with high print quality. For that purpose, the ink ejection timing between the two raster groups is shifted by a predetermined interval to form a plurality of adjustment patterns; the adjustment patterns printed are checked and, according to the check result, an adjustment value for the ink ejection timing between the two ink nozzle columns is entered, and the entered adjustment value is stored to be reflected on the actual printing operation. To facilitate the adjustment pattern check, the plurality of adjustment patterns have a dot distribution with a blue noise characteristic at a resolution at which the printing apparatus can print.

摘要： A contamination of a printing medium caused by ink mist or the like is suppressed, which may scatter or float in an apparatus when margin-less printing is carried out in an ink jet printer. When margin-less printing for an edge of a printing medium P is performed, a predetermined edge area {circle around (1)} is printed using a smaller number of ejection openings during one scanning operation than that used for other areas {circle around (2)} and {circle around (3)}, while taking transportation errors relating to this end into consideration. This reduces the amount of ink mist resulting from ink ejected out of the edge of the printing medium during one scanning operation.

摘要： When recording a gradation pixel by performing pseudo-halftone processing, the occurrence of unevenness in the density in the recorded image is suppressed. For that purpose, when recording a pseudo-halftone image using dot patterns, a dot-pattern table storing a plurality of different dot patterns is provided for each gradation value. One dot-pattern table is selected from N dot-pattern tables based on gradation-value information for each pixel. One dot pattern is selected from the selected dot-pattern table, based on position information indicated by the pixel, and recording is performed using the selected dot pattern. It is thereby possible to prevent the concentrated use of a particular nozzle of a recording head, and suppress the occurrence of unevenness in the density due to characteristics of the specific nozzle.

摘要： In an apparatus for performing printing using a color ink-jet head having a plurality of ink-discharge-port strings corresponding to ink materials having different color tones, a high-quality image having excellent gradation can be recorded, while reducing the cost of the apparatus and increasing the data processing speed by reducing the capacity of a memory for storing dot arrangement patterns. For that purpose, as a plurality of dot arrangement patterns for determining dot arrangement at output within a M×N-dot region for one input pixel, (1) patterns having a large number of gradation levels that can be represented (for example, nine gradation levels) and a high recording resolution (for example, 1,200 dpi (dots per inch)×2,400 dpi) are used for colors in which uneven stripes tend to be pronouncedly observed (for example, light cyan and light magenta), and (2) patterns having a small number of gradation levels that can be represented (for example, five gradation levels) and a low recording resolution (for example, 1,200 dpi×1,200 dpi) are used for colors in which uneven stripes tend to be less pronouncedly observed (for example, black, cyan, magenta and yellow).

摘要： An ink jet recording method uses a recording head capable of ejecting a first ink containing a coloring material with a relatively small particle size φd and a second ink containing a coloring material with a relatively large particle size φp and also uses a specific recording medium including a porous layer and a base, wherein the porous layer has a gap size φh that is larger than the particle size φd and smaller than the particle size φp. The first ink is ejected to the porous layer side of the recording medium and then the second ink is ejected to the same side. The first ink passes through the porous layer to form an image viewed from the base side, and the second ink fixes on the surface of the porous layer to form an image viewed from the recording side.

摘要： An ink jet recording apparatus can reduce waste ink produced in marginless printing caused by overflow from an ink absorber. To realize this, each time the marginless printing is executed, the volume of waste ink produced by the marginless printing is cumulatively added up in order to control a total volume of the waste ink. The waste ink volume to be added up is determined by at least the kind of print medium or the print mode.

摘要： Printing on an area of a printing medium in which printing locations may be significantly deviated due to inaccurate feeding of the printing medium can be performed, without degrading image quality. Specifically, when lines in this area (second area) are printed using four scanning operations (passes) of a print head, a duty in masking process is set at zero for the scanning operation (pass A) after a change-line operation for feeding the printing medium with a possible large shift feeding error, and is distributed to other scanning operations. Thus, no dots are formed during this scanning operation (pass A), thereby preventing significantly deviated dots from being formed.

摘要： The present invention relates to an ink jet printing apparatus which sufficiently heats a head even in a low-temperature environment, which enables a proper image to be printed by stably ejecting ink, and which can be inexpensively and simply constructed. According to the present invention, if the detected temperature of a printhead is lower than a first heating threshold temperature, a heating mode in which the printhead can be heated is set before a printing operation. Further, when the heating mode is set and the detected temperature of the printhead is lower than a second heating threshold temperature, a heating unit heats the printhead. Consequently, even in a low-temperature environment, the heating operation keeps ink in a desired condition suitable for printing.
