Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a color registration error amount calculation unit that calculates a color registration error amount from a first test pattern; a correction information obtaining unit that obtains a correction information for correcting an image on a back surface based on previously obtained contraction information of a printing paper after printing an image on a front surface when printing on both surfaces; and an image data correction unit that corrects the image on the back surface based on the color registration error amount calculated by the color registration error amount and the correction information obtained by the correction information obtaining unit.
Abstract:
A head driving device drives a liquid ejection head. The liquid ejection head includes a plurality of nozzles and a plurality of pressure generating devices provided respectively corresponding to the nozzles. The head driving device includes a driving-waveform correcting unit configured to correct driving waveform data that defines ejection characteristics of liquid to be ejected from the nozzle based on interference patterns expressing variations in the ejection characteristics caused by an interference occurring in the nozzle.
Abstract:
The invention is concerning a head driving device that drives a recording head including a plurality of nozzles and a plurality of pressure generating elements corresponding to the respective nozzles. The head driving device comprises: a plurality of drive waveform generating units corresponding to the respective pressure generating elements, wherein the drive waveform generating units drive the respective pressure generating elements on the basis of pieces of drive waveform information that are set for the respective nozzles so as to approximately equalize ejection characteristics of droplets ejected from the nozzles.
