    摘要: An ink-jet printing apparatus and suction recovery control method which can minimize reduction in throughput while maintaining a printhead in the most appropriate condition, and can reduce the amount of wasted ink. According to the suction recovery control method, a printing period of predetermined printing operation is timed, and the number of print dots formed by discharging ink from a printhead during the predetermined printing operation is counted. Based on the timed printing period and counted number of print dots, the number of print dots per unit time is calculated. Then based on the calculated number of print dots per unit time, timing of suction recovery operation is determined, and suction recovery operation of the printhead is performed according to the determined timing.

    摘要: To enable an ink jet printing apparatus to produce high quality images at all times from the initial stage of use until the end of its service life, the present invention provides an ink jet printing method for printing an image on a print medium by using a print head, in which the print head can eject ink supplied from an ink tank. The ink jet printing method includes an ink consumption detection step for detecting an amount of ink consumed in the ink tank, an ejection number detection step for detecting the number of ink ejections from the print head, an ink droplet volume calculation step for calculating an ink droplet volume based on the number of ink ejections from the print head and the ink consumption, and a control step for changing processing associated with a printing operation according to the ink droplet volume calculated by the calculation step.

    摘要: This invention relates to an ink jet recording apparatus and a recording method for recording images of high dignity with the amount of ink placed per unit area of a recording medium being always kept constant even if the resolvability when recording is effected changes. When the amount of ink of an ink droplet discharged from a recording head is constant (25 pl), the average number of recorded dots conformity to the resolvability is found on the basis thereof, and the number of recordable dots is found from this average number of dots. The difference between this number of actually recorded dots and the average number of recorded dots is adjusted by reducing the value of recording data in advance.
