The liquid supply system includes: a buffer tank (12) in which a liquid to be supplied to a liquid supply target device (15) is stored; a liquid level varying device (78, 82) that changes a liquid level height in the buffer tank; a liquid flow passage (16, 18) through which the liquid supply target device and the buffer tank communicate with each other; a pump (98A) provided in the liquid flow passage; and a valve (97A) for opening and closing the liquid flow passage, in which in a case in which the liquid supply target device is not in operation, the liquid is discharged from the buffer tank to lower the liquid level height in the buffer tank; and the pump and the valve are controlled to allow the liquid to flow into the buffer tank from the liquid flow passage.

An image forming apparatus that forms an image where occurrence of concentration unevenness caused by occurrence of mechanical crosstalk is suppressed are provided. According to the present invention, the distance from the boundary position of the inkjet head corresponding to the concentration boundary between the first concentration region and the second concentration region to the second concentration region end of the inkjet head is less than the reciprocal of the spatial frequency of the concentration unevenness. Accordingly, the length of the part in the first direction where the inkjet head forms the second concentration region is less than one period of the concentration unevenness. Even if crosstalk due to vibrations of the part where the inkjet head forms the first concentration region occurs, the visibility of the concentration unevenness occurring in the second concentration region can be reduced.

A liquid ejection device includes a head driving unit that generates a first driving voltage and a second driving voltage in which whether or not there is ejection of liquid from a first ejection element in a case where the first driving voltage alone is applied to the first ejection element that is a detection target of a short circuit between ejection elements is different from whether or not there is ejection of liquid from the first ejection element in a case where the first driving voltage and the second driving voltage are applied to the first ejection element, supplies the first driving voltage to the first ejection element, and supplies the second driving voltage to the second ejection element suspected of a short circuit with the first ejection element.

A method for adjusting a head module of an inkjet head in which a plurality of head modules having nozzles capable of ejecting droplets are connected and linked together is disclosed. The inkjet head has an overlapping region in which an arrangement sequence of the head modules corresponding to the ejected droplets is alternate between adjacent head modules. The method includes the steps of: obtaining, among intervals between the droplet ejected by one of the head modules and the droplet ejected by another one of the head modules in the overlapping region, a largest interval between the droplets in a direction of alignment of the head modules based upon movement of the droplets caused by a landing interference; and adjusting the adjacent head modules in a direction to decrease the largest interval between the droplets.

A sequence that includes first processing of generating a positive flow in a first direction in a liquid in a first flow passage including at least a part of a circulation flow passage through which the liquid is supplied from a liquid tank to the liquid jetting head and the liquid is collected from the liquid jetting head to the liquid tank and second processing of generating a negative flow in an opposite direction to the first direction in the liquid in the first flow passage, is executed. In the first flow passage, a filter that removes a foreign substance in the liquid is disposed between the liquid tank and the liquid jetting head in the positive flow. A flow rate of the liquid of the positive flow is higher than a flow rate of the liquid of the negative flow. The negative flow has a steady flow state.

An inkjet head ejection performance evaluation method includes: printing a test pattern for examining an ejection condition for each nozzle by an inkjet head and reading the test pattern by an image reading device; measuring a first depositing position for each nozzle from a read image to calculate an angle deviation amount of the inkjet head based on the first depositing position and pattern information; calculating at least one of a second depositing position and second deposit displacement amount in which an influence due to angle deviation caused is eliminated; calculating a moving amount caused by rotation of the angle deviation amount from a reference position of the nozzle at a reference attaching angle up to a current nozzle position; and calculating, by using these calculation results, at least one of a distance between the adjacent pixels and a third deposit displacement amount including the influence.

A gripping region is set at each of first and second ends of paper that is a medium. A region of a first surface excluding the gripping region is set as a first surface printable region. A first image printing region for printing a first image and a first test image printing region for printing a first test image are set in the first surface printable region. A region of a second surface excluding the gripping region is set as a second surface printable region. A second image printing region for printing a second image and a second test image printing region for printing a second test image are set in the second surface printable region. The first and second test image printing regions are set in the same region of the first and second surfaces.

A method for analyzing positional deviation of head modules of an inkjet head having head modules connected and joined with each other includes: dividing a printing pattern and thereby creating division patterns; obtaining conversion factors of the nozzles of each division pattern; changing the number of nozzles used in calculation and thereby obtain a minimum value of a standard error of a positional deviation shift amount; changing the number of divisions of the division patterns and performing the calculation of the conversion factor and the standard error with the changed division patterns; determining the number of divisions and the number of nozzles with which the value of the standard error is minimal; and creating an analysis chart with the determined number of divisions and calculating the positional deviation shift amount based upon an average value of the positional deviation shift amounts of nozzles corresponding to the determined number of nozzles.
