摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes reading means for reading the density of a test pattern corresponding to each of plural recording elements of a recording head, the recording elements being arranged in an array, and the test pattern being recorded by the recording elements. An eliminating means eliminates error information, recorded from an area outside a test pattern are, from density information obtained by the reading means when the density of a test pattern end portion corresponding to an end portion of the array of plural of recording elements is determined. A means is provided for uniforming the image densities in correspondence with the plurality of recording elements based on density information from which the error information is eliminated by the eliminating means.

An image recording apparatus includes plural recording heads that eject ink to record an image. Different tone characteristics of the images recorded by the recording heads are corrected by individually correcting the image signal for each head to improve the overall image quality of the image provided by the plural recording heads. Non-uniform density of the image recorded by the recording heads can also be corrected before tone correction is effected.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus for recording an image by using a plurality of recording elements which are driven an accordance with an image signal includes a first correction unit for correcting driving conditions of the recording element, and a second correction unit for correcting a level of the image signal, wherein a variation in the recording elements is corrected by a combination of the first and second correction units. A driving voltage or a width of drive pulse which is applied to each recording element is controlled as a driving condition, thereby making uniform an uneven image density.

An ink jet recording apparatus wherein an image is formed on a recording material by ejection of coloring agents having different colors from plural recording heads. The apparatus includes a discriminator for discriminating whether an image having a edge and an image having high image density are to be overlaid or not; and a controller, responsive to the discriminator, for exchanging a primary coloring agent with a secondary coloring agent at a position corresponding to at least one of the edge image and a periphery of the edge image.
摘要:
An ink jet printing apparatus includes an ink jet printing unit for executing ink jet printing on a printing medium by use of an ink jet printing head, a heat application treatment unit arranged below the ink jet printing unit for executing heat treatment to a printing medium after the execution of ink jet printing in the ink jet printing unit, and a heat insulating member arranged between the ink jet printing unit and the heat application treatment unit. Thus, this apparatus is made capable of preventing heat generated by the heat application treatment unit from producing any unfavorable effect that may invite the degradation of printing quality if such heat is transferred to the various members in the apparatus, such as the ink jet printing unit, the printing medium storage unit, or to the bending portion of a printing medium between the ink jet printing unit and printing medium storage unit.
摘要:
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus which comprises an image bearing member, a recording material bearing member for holding and conveying a recording material to a transfer portion, a transfer charge member for transferring an image from the image bearing member to the recording material born by the recording material bearing member, and an urging means for urging the rear surface of the recording material bearing member in the vicinity of the transfer portion. The transfer charge member being contacted with a rear surface of the recording material bearing member opposite to a front surface on which the recording material is held at the transfer portion.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus utilizing an ink jet recording head and including a plurality of processing devices for forming the image; a detector which detects a quantity of a state, i.e. temperature, humidity, idle time, suspened dust, etc., related to a control of the image processing devices; and an inferrence computer which uses fuzzy logic in analizing the detected quantity of state to control the processing devices.
摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus with plural full-line type recording heads has a heat pipe associated with each recording head. The heat pipes are connected together at a common portion in various ways, such as by a heat-conductive block, one or more additional heat pipes or a container with a heat transferring liquid medium. Such an arrangement enables more efficient and compact temperature control of the recording heads.
