摘要:
A printing apparatus and printing method can realize high-quality printing without degrading the quality of a printed image even when a nozzle restriction function is adopted in addition to a discharge failure complement function. In a printing apparatus using an inkjet printhead having a plurality of nozzles, whether the position of an ink discharge failure nozzle exists at or near the end of a nozzle area which is still usable regardless of the use restriction on the nozzles is detected. The use of a nozzle for complementary printing executed with a nozzle positioned near the ink discharge failure nozzle is controlled in accordance with the detection result.

Disclosed are a printing apparatus and printing method which suppress degradation of the image quality caused by discharge failure complement. In the printing apparatus, virtual data are generated for predetermined dots in a scanning direction on the basis of printing data of a plurality of dots in the scanning direction of an inkjet printhead that are printed by an ink discharge failure nozzle among a plurality of nozzles. The priorities of dots subjected to complementary printing among a plurality of dots within a predetermined adjacent area where the printing data and virtual data are printed are decided on the basis of the printing data and virtual data. A position subjected to complementary printing is decided on the basis of the priorities, printing data, and virtual data. Printing data and virtual data which actually cause ink discharge are so moved as to print at the position. Corrected printing data to be actually printed is generated on the basis of the moved data. Printing is performed by driving the inkjet printhead on the basis of the corrected printing data.

摘要:
Analytical method and analytical system are presented, wherein properties of the carrier gas conveying fine particles and gas components generated by laser ablation can be prevented from inhibiting the optimization of analysis conditions, and plural kinds of elements can be stably measured with high sensitivity and good accuracy without losing operability, speed, and convenience when fine particles generated by laser ablation are plasma-analyzed. A sample α is converted into fine particles by a laser ablation device in the atmosphere of a first gas. The fine particles are conveyed from the laser ablation device to a gas replacement device by using the first gas as a carrier gas. The first gas of at least part of the carrier gas conveying the fine particles is replaced with a second gas by means of the gas replacement device. The fine particles are conveyed from the gas replacement device to the plasma analyzer by the carrier gas that has been subjected to the gas replacement. Constituent elements of the fine particles are analyzed by the plasma analyzer.
摘要:
A battery-driven recording apparatus records a plurality of lines by recording-scan by using a recording head having a plurality of recording elements. A capacity of a battery is detected, and when the capacity of the battery is lowered, the number of lines to be recorded in one recording scan is reduced.
