摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus records by discharging ink from plural recording heads toward a recording medium. Each of the recording heads has a heat pipe mounted thereon, and protruding therefrom so as to have a length which is greater than the recording width of the corresponding recording head. The protruding portions of each heat pipe extending from the recording heads have a heat discharging member attached thereto. That member constitutes a single blower fan for applying an air stream to the heat discharging members corresponding to the recording head, and plural air stream control means for applying the air stream produced by the blower fan to the heat discharging members individually or independently.

A recording head has a plurality of arranged recording elements, wherein the recording elements are selectively supplied with driving signals and driven by electrical energy. The head includes a dividing unit for dividing a plurality of arranged recording elements into at least two blocks each simultaneously operable, and correcting unit for correcting the characteristics of the recording elements in accordance with electrical energy at respective blocks, whereby the recording head's life is prolonged and a high quality picture image can be obtained.

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.

An image forming apparatus such as a laser beam printer or an ink-jet recording apparatus has a recording head which records an image on a recording medium in the direction of main scan in accordance with image signals. The recoding medium is moved relative to the recording head in a sub-scan direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the main scan. A controller controls conditions of recording performed by the recording head so as to effect a correction of recording density unevenness cause by a variation of the relative speed of movements of parts of the apparatus.
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.

A correction data production apparatus includes a detecting unit for reading a test pattern formed by a recording head having a plurality of recording elements constituting an array, and for detecting a density distribution of a range of the array of the plurality of recording elements, a corresponding unit for causing the density distribution detected by the detecting unit to correspond to the plurality of recording elements on the basis of a reference position where a density of an end portion of the density distribution reaches a predetermined threshold value, a production unit for producing correction data for an image formation density uniforming drive conditions in correspondence with the plurality of recording elements on the basis of the density distribution corresponded by the corresponding unit, and a changing unit for changing the threshold value in accordance with characteristics of the test pattern.
摘要:
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 reducing the quantity of the coloring agent for the high density image at a position corresponding to at least one of the edge image and a periphery of the edge image .

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 image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording material comprising: a plurality of processing devices for forming the image; a detecter for detecting at least a quantity of state relating to a control of the processing devices; an inference computer for inferring, in accordance with the quantity of state, a quantity of control for use to control the processing devices.
