摘要： Even if a recording medium is interfered with an opposed surface of a carriage and/or a recording head due to the curl of the recording medium, damage of the recording medium and the recording head is prevented by avoiding collision between an edge of the recording medium and the carriage and/or the recording head. The opposed surface (opposed to the recording medium) of the recording head 1 or the carriage is made smooth to form a smooth portion, and a moving range of the carriage is limited so that the smooth portion is not moved out of the recording medium, and a preliminary discharge receiving portion for receiving ink discharged to recover the recording head is disposed within the moving range of the carriage, and the moving range of the carriage is controlled to be limited when it is judged that curl will occur in the recording medium.

摘要： The present invention reduces the granularity of the dots for the entire density range by optimally setting formation amounts of a low-density dot and of a high-density dot per unit area. For this purpose, the formation amounts of the low-density dot and of the high-density dot in accordance with the density level are determined in such a way that as the density level rises, the formation amount of the low-density dot is gradually increased up to a first peak amount (200%) and, after reaching the first peak, gradually decreased, and in a range of density levels higher than a predetermined density level at which the low-density dot is formed to a specified amount (200%), as the density level rises, the formation amount of the high-density dot is gradually increased up to a second peak amount (100%) smaller than the first peak amount.

摘要： A color ink-jet head, having plural arrays of nozzles side by side in a main scan direction corresponding to different color inks, is moved to scan reciprocally. In a multi-pass recording for divided recording on an area by scanning at plural times with the head, an ink firstly landed on recording of the area determines a prioritized color influential on the color tone. Moreover, a printing medium is largely covered by the recording of first two passes. A harmful influence on a whole image by the color irregularity can reduced by suppressing the color irregularity in the two passes, therefore, the data recording ratio of the first pass to the area is set smaller than that of the second pass and thereafter. Further, for such the control, a pseudo periodical masking data arranging record prohibiting pixels and record permitting pixels in a visually agreeable state is introduced.

摘要： In an apparatus for performing printing using a color ink-jet head having a plurality of ink-discharge-port strings corresponding to ink materials having different color tones, a high-quality image having excellent gradation can be recorded, while reducing the cost of the apparatus and increasing the data processing speed by reducing the capacity of a memory for storing dot arrangement patterns. For that purpose, as a plurality of dot arrangement patterns for determining dot arrangement at output within a M×N-dot region for one input pixel, (1) patterns having a large number of gradation levels that can be represented (for example, nine gradation levels) and a high recording resolution (for example, 1,200 dpi (dots per inch)×2,400 dpi) are used for colors in which uneven stripes tend to be pronouncedly observed (for example, light cyan and light magenta), and (2) patterns having a small number of gradation levels that can be represented (for example, five gradation levels) and a low recording resolution (for example, 1,200 dpi×1,200 dpi) are used for colors in which uneven stripes tend to be less pronouncedly observed (for example, black, cyan, magenta and yellow).

摘要： Printing on an area of a printing medium in which printing locations may be significantly deviated due to inaccurate feeding of the printing medium can be performed, without degrading image quality. Specifically, when lines in this area (second area) are printed using four scanning operations (passes) of a print head, a duty in masking process is set at zero for the scanning operation (pass A) after a change-line operation for feeding the printing medium with a possible large shift feeding error, and is distributed to other scanning operations. Thus, no dots are formed during this scanning operation (pass A), thereby preventing significantly deviated dots from being formed.

摘要： The present invention relates to an ink jet printing apparatus which sufficiently heats a head even in a low-temperature environment, which enables a proper image to be printed by stably ejecting ink, and which can be inexpensively and simply constructed. According to the present invention, if the detected temperature of a printhead is lower than a first heating threshold temperature, a heating mode in which the printhead can be heated is set before a printing operation. Further, when the heating mode is set and the detected temperature of the printhead is lower than a second heating threshold temperature, a heating unit heats the printhead. Consequently, even in a low-temperature environment, the heating operation keeps ink in a desired condition suitable for printing.

摘要： The present invention provides a method of printing a high quality color image with no color variations at high speed. For this purpose, this invention arranges in a main scan direction a plurality of print heads that eject different color inks, and reciprocally moves each of the print heads to perform a multipass printing in which a print operation is executed in both the forward and backward passes. During the multipass printing, the print duties of the print heads are set by mask patterns. Each of the mask patterns divides the print duty setting area for each nozzle group of each head into subdivided areas, sets the print duties of the subdivided areas to values different from each other and sets the print duties of the print heads to different values.

摘要： In an ink-jet printing apparatus which includes a plurality of printing heads, each having an array of ink discharging elements, preliminary discharge of driving the elements of at least one printing head is performed a predetermined number of times. The printing head for which the preliminary discharge is to be performed is switched in a predetermined cycle. In performing the preliminary discharge, switching of the printing head is so controlled as to perform preliminary discharge a desired number of times for all the elements of the printing heads by repeating the cycle.

摘要： A contamination of a printing medium caused by ink mist or the like is suppressed, which may scatter or float in an apparatus when margin-less printing is carried out in an ink jet printer. When margin-less printing for an edge of a printing medium P is performed, a predetermined edge area {circle around (1)} is printed using a smaller number of ejection openings during one scanning operation than that used for other areas {circle around (2)} and {circle around (3)}, while taking transportation errors relating to this end into consideration. This reduces the amount of ink mist resulting from ink ejected out of the edge of the printing medium during one scanning operation.
