摘要： The present invention provides an inkjet printing apparatus and an inkjet printing method for printing a high-definition image while improving glossiness of the image surface without causing complication and enlargement of the apparatus. A plurality of inks are ejected from first and second printing heads so that a weighted average of a printing rate for each scan regarding an ink having the highest lightness becomes the largest among the plurality of inks and so that a maximum value regarding the printing rate of the ink having the highest lightness becomes larger than those of other inks.

摘要： The present invention provides an ink jet printing system and method which allows high-quality images to be printed while improving the gloss of an image surface, as well as a relevant storage medium. According to the present invention, an image is printed using a print head including multiple nozzle arrays provided for ink in respective multiple colors and in each of which multiple nozzles configured to eject ink are arranged; the print head ejects the ink in the multiple colors onto the same print area on a print medium during multiple scans. The multiple types of ink are ejected from the print head so that the connectivity of ink dots formed on the front outermost surface of a print area is higher than that of other ink dots formed in the print area.

摘要： An image data signal value conversion is performed such that the volume of ink applied to image areas on a print medium to be printed by the overlapping portions of the printing element substrates is smaller than that applied to image areas on the print medium to be printed by portions other than the overlapping portions. Alternatively, the image data signal value conversion is performed such that the volume of ink applied to overlapping areas on the print medium to be printed by two consecutive printing main scans is smaller than that applied to areas other than the overlapping areas. For this reason, even when forming photographic images by using an elongate “joining head”, high-quality images with no density unevenness between overlapping areas and other areas on a print medium can be produced. Also in a serial type printing apparatus, uniform images with no seam stripes can be produced.

摘要翻译： 执行图像数据信号值转换，使得施加到要由打印元件基板的重叠部分打印的打印介质上的图像区域的墨的体积小于通过打印介质的打印介质上的图像区域施加的打印介质上的墨水量 重叠部分以外的部分。 或者，执行图像数据信号值转换，使得通过两次连续的打印主扫描施加到要打印的打印介质上的重叠区域的油墨的体积小于应用于重叠区域以外的区域的油墨量。 因此，即使通过使用细长的“接合头”形成摄影图像，也可以制造在重叠区域和打印介质上的其他区域之间没有浓度不均匀的高质量图像。 同样在串行式打印装置中，可以产生无缝条纹的均匀图像。

摘要： An inkjet printing apparatus and an inkjet printing method capable of suppressing generation of bronze phenomenon regardless of the color gamut is provided. For this purpose, in multipass printing, there are set more pixels permitted to print by at least one type of achromatic color ink than pixels permitted to print by chromatic color ink in the last print scan to a unit region. Accordingly, it becomes possible to apply achromatic color ink having a high bronze phenomenon reduction effect on the topmost layer of the print medium, and thereby generation of bronze phenomenon can be suppressed without any hue shift.

摘要： When a feeding amount for multi-pass printing is changed, the purpose related to an image quality using a binary data generation pattern can still be attained by, for example, a density pattern method. Specifically, a multi-pass printing mode is identified, and a density pattern selection matrix associated with a cycle of binary data generation is selected in accordance with the selected printing mode. That is, a density pattern selection matrix employed for binary data generation using a density pattern is changed to a size corresponding to the feeding amount designated by the selected printing mode. Thereby, a phenomenon that a unit used for image processing to gain a predetermined purpose related to an image quality does not match a unit area used for a printing operation is avoided, and an image printing purpose using a binary data generation pattern can be appropriately attained.

摘要翻译： 当多次通过打印的供给量发生变化时，与使用二进制数据生成模式的图像质量有关的目的仍然可以通过例如浓度图案方法来实现。 具体地，识别多遍打印模式，并且根据所选择的打印模式选择与二进制数据生成的循环相关联的浓度模式选择矩阵。 也就是说，将使用密度图案的二进制数据生成中使用的浓度模式选择矩阵改变为与由所选择的打印模式指定的进给量对应的尺寸。 因此，避免了用于图像处理以获得与图像质量相关的预定目的的单元与用于打印操作的单位区域不匹配的现象，并且可以适当地获得使用二进制数据生成图案的图像打印目的 。

摘要： A printing apparatus that includes nozzle arrays, formed of nozzles for ejecting ink of the first to fourth ink color groups, and that scans a print medium while moving the nozzle arrays to perform printing. For printing a unit area of a print medium, where printing is to be completed by performing a plurality of scans, the printing apparatus performs a plurality of scans, and conveys, between movements, a print medium a predetermined amount, which is equivalent to the width of the unit area. Then, to perform a plurality of scans using the nozzle arrays for the first to fourth ink color groups, print data are generated, so that for the nozzle arrays that belong to two ink color groups, the nozzle array for the first ink color group is employed to eject ink into the unit area prior to the nozzle array for the second ink color group.

A plurality of printing element arrays are disposed in parallel on the same printhead chip, and a distribution ratio of print data is controlled so as to at least differ in an overlap area in which end portions of the printing element arrays overlap each other.

摘要： In both a full-line and a serial printer, the amount of ink passing through nozzles of print heads is sometimes decreased below a normal value before and during actual printing. In the printer of the present invention, a preliminary ejecting operation is performed taking the opportunity in which the amount of ink passing through nozzles is decreased below a normal value. Then, the amount of ink passing through nozzles recovers to the normal value in ink ejection after the preliminary ejecting operation. Since only a small amount of ink is ejected through the nozzles during the preliminary ejection operation, dots formed on a print sheet are not noticeable. Further, it is unnecessary to move the print heads to a home position where an ejection recovering process is executed to remove ink having an increased viscosity.

摘要翻译： 在全线和串行打印机中，通过打印头喷嘴的墨水量有时在实际打印之前和期间都会降至正常值以下。 在本发明的打印机中，在通过喷嘴的墨水量降低到正常值以下的机会的情况下进行预喷射操作。 然后，在预喷射操作之后，通过喷嘴的墨水量在墨喷射中恢复到正常值。 由于在预喷射操作期间仅通过喷嘴喷射少量墨，所以形成在打印纸上的点不明显。 此外，不需要将打印头移动到执行喷射恢复处理的原始位置以去除具有增加的粘度的油墨。
