摘要:
A printhead compatible with various printers, e.g. a printer having low print density or a printer having high print density, enables printing in the best capability of the printer. The printhead comprises: a determination circuit 24 which determines a type of a printer incorporating the printhead, and switches SW1 and SW2 which select a method of driving the printhead according to in the printer, on the basis of the determination result by the determination circuit 24. When the printhead is installed in the printer capable of printing at 360 dpi, four print dots printed at 720 dpi substantially express one dot printed at 360 dpi. Meanwhile, when the printhead is installed in the printer capable of printing at 720 dpi, one print dot expresses one dot printed at 720 dpi.

A substrate for use in an ink jet recording head is provided with a plurality of heat generating members for generating thermal energy to be utilized for discharging ink. The heat generating members are structured by a thin film formed by material represented by Tax Siy Rz, which has a specific resistance value of 4000 &mgr;&OHgr;·cm or less, where R is one or more kinds of elements selected from/among C, O, N, and x+y+z=100. With the structure thus arranged, the heat generating members make it possible to maintain the change of resistance values within a small amount even when used continuously for a long time, and provide recorded images of high quality with long life and reliability.

Provided are a recording head, recording apparatus, recording method, and recording head which are cartridge using the recording head, capable of correcting the offset of recording dot position in the direction of movement of the recording head, with a simple structure. A plurality of columns of image data corresponding to the plurality of recording devices relating to recording is held and image data corresponding to the column to be recorded is selected from this held image data and recording is thus performed, so that the driving column and recording column can be changed for each nozzle. Consequently, positional offset of dots can be adjusted for each nozzle.

A substrate is formed for use of an ink jet recording head provided with a plurality in heat generating members for generating thermal energy to be utilized for discharging ink, an interlayer film arranged for the lower layer of each of said heat generating members, and a protection layer for protecting said heat generating member. Each of the heat generating members of the substrate is structured by metal and insulator, and at the same time, the rate of metal content in the vicinity of the interfaces of the heat generating member becomes smaller than that in the center of the heat generating member in the film thickness direction thereof. With the structure of such member thus arranged, it is made possible to prevent or suppress interlayer peelings and cracks from taking place in each of the heat generating resistive layers where temperature changes are made intensely due to thermal cycle.

A substrate for use in an ink jet recording head includes a plurality of heat generating resistive members formed on the substrate, a wiring pattern formed to be electrically connected with the heat generating resistive members, and a protection film formed on the heat generating resistive members and the wiring pattern to protect them from ink, and then, a vertically turn-up wiring structure is formed with an insulation film formed on the substrate, and one side of the wiring connected with the heat generating resistive members is arranged immediately below the heat generating resistive members in a width and a length larger than that of heat generating resistive members with the insulation film between them. For this substrate, the heat generating resistive members and the wiring positioned immediately below them are formed by polysilicon having impurities in different densities. With the structure thus arranged, it becomes possible to form the vertically turn-up wiring structure for heat generating resistive members arranged at pitches in high density using polysilicon.

A printhead, constructed with a plurality of common-type element substrates which sandwich a connecting board, which performs printing by utilizing a common-type control signal. The element substrate integrates: a plurality of heaters 101 which are arrayed in one line, power transistors 102, a shift register 104, a latch circuit 117, an AND circuit 119, terminals 114 to 116 for inputting block-selection signals, a terminal 120 for inputting an inverse instruction signal which instructs to invert the block selection signal, a block inverter 121 for inverting the block-selection signal in accordance with the inverse instruction signal, and a 3 to 8 decoder 118 for selecting one of a plurality of blocks. By utilizing a printhead where at least two of the element substrate are arranged opposite to each other, and where plural arrays of printing elements are formed, printing is performed by dividing a plurality of printing elements into a plurality of blocks and time-divisionally driving each block. When this printing is performed, the inverse instruction signal inverts the order of block selection which has been inverted because of the element substrates arranged opposite to each other.
摘要:
First humidified gas is supplied from a first supply port to a sheet to be conveyed, thereby increasing the moisture content of the sheet. Simultaneously, second humidified gas is supplied to a space where nozzles of the inkjet recording head are exposed, from a second supply port provided at a position closer to the inkjet recording head than the first supply port, thereby increasing the atmosphere humidity of the space. The part of the sheet of which the moisture content has been increased is made to enter the space where the atmosphere humidity has been increased, and recording is performed by the inkjet recording head.
