摘要:
The invention prevents drawbacks resulting from the bubble generated at the downstream side of the filter, while minimizing the waste in the ink. The recording head has a sub tank for storing ink supplied from the exterior, and a liquid chamber storing the ink supplied from the sub tank and supplying ink directly to a nozzle for ink discharge. A filter is provided between the sub tank and the liquid chamber. The liquid chamber holds ink of a predetermined amount in such a manner that the ink therein is separated by gas between the filter and the liquid chamber.

In one printing scan of a plurality of printing scans of a multi-scan system, in which an ink dominant on the surface of a printing medium is set, the printing percentage of the ink relatively low in the degree of glossiness is set to be higher than that of the ink relatively high in the degree of glossiness. Thereby, the ink relatively low in the degree of glossiness becomes dominant in an overall image, so that the degree of glossiness is stabilized at a low level, even if the bi-directional printing operation is carried out, or the printing duty varies. Thus, the glossy-banding hardly occurs.

An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a recording head including a discharge port for discharging ink, a first liquid chamber at the upstream side in the direction of ink flow toward the discharge port, and a second liquid chamber at the downstream side, an ink tank for containing ink to be supplied to the recording head, an ink supply tube for causing the ink tank to communicate with the recording head, a shut-off valve provided in the ink supply tube and opening or closing the ink supply tube, a cap for covering the discharge port; and a suction pump for forcedly discharging the ink in the recording head from the discharge port when the cap covers the discharge port. The shut-off valve is opened when the first and second liquid chambers are reduced to respectively desired pressures by the suction pump in a state where the cap covers the discharge port and the shut-off valve is closed, whereby the ink in the ink tank is supplied through the ink supply tube to the first and second liquid chambers.
摘要:
An ink-jet recording method employs a light-tonable recording liquid capable of being toned by light radiation, the liquid preferably containing a recording agent having an absorption peak within a certain wavelength range, an ammonium salt of an organic boron, and a liquid medium. The hue or the density of a desired portion of the light-tonable recording liquid on a recording member is changed by radiating toning light onto that portion. The recording member may have colored portions of an image previously recorded with a light-tonable recording liquid or colored portions just formed in the current recording. Toning light is radiated onto a desired position of the recording region of the member while varying the intensity and/or the period of light radiation in accordance with an information signal. Thus, toning may provide various half-tones or may render the toned portion of the recording liquid colorless, thereby erasing the relevant colored portions. Selective erasure may be followed by re-recording on the same position of the recording region, thereby effecting correction. All-surface erasure allows the recording member to be reused.

A torque sensor for use in detecting torsion of a power steering device or the like of a vehicle. The torque sensor is provided with a first shaft supported for rotation about its axis in a casing, a permanent magnet secured to the first shaft, a second shaft supported for rotation about its axis in the casing and disposed in end-to-end relationship to the first shaft, a connecting shaft for connecting the first shaft and the second shaft, a magnetic core secured to the second shaft and a magnetism sensor secured to the casing and sandwiched between ring-shaped magnetic members disposed in the vicinity of the outer peripheral face of the magnetic core so that a change in magnetic flux which is caused by the relative displacement of the permanent magnet and the magnetic core is detected by the magnetism sensor as the direction of a variation in the relative position of and the amount of variation in a displacement of the first shaft and the second shaft about the axis of rotation of the first and second shafts.

An ink-jet printing apparatus can maintain a liquid level height in an ink storing portion in an air buffering vessel at a predetermined height and can simplify an associated mechanism for connection between a scanning carriage and a stationary ink tank while a low cost single tube is employed. An air buffering vessel of the ink-jet printing apparatus has one ink supply opening from the ink storage tank and at least two suction and discharge openings located at mutually different height in a vertical direction. Upper opening of the at least two suction and discharge openings serves for air suction and discharge. Lower opening serves for ink supply and discharge, and is communicated with a connection opening of the printing head.

A sloped surface is provided inside an ink tank of an exchangeable ink jet head cartridge arranged in a scan-type ink jet apparatus. An acceleration of the ink jet head cartridge scanned for recording and an inertia of ink are utilized to allow the ink to climb the slope, whereby the ink can be favorably supplied to a recording head.

摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus is constructed: a recording head for discharging ink from a plurality of discharge ports and recording onto a recording medium; a carriage on which the recording head is mounted and which reciprocatively scans on the recording medium; a recording medium conveying unit for conveying the recording medium in the direction perpendicular to a scanning direction of the carriage by a predetermined distance each time the carriage reciprocatively scans on the recording medium; an ink tank mounted at a position where it does not exercise an influence on the reciprocative scan of the carriage and the conveyance of the recording medium by the recording medium conveying unit; an ink supply tube for supplying the ink from the ink tank to the recording head; and a control section for controlling an ink discharge state of the recording head on the basis of an image signal which is inputted from an upper apparatus. An ink jet recording method in a recording control method for the recording apparatus is also provided.
