摘要:
A fluid ejection head comprises a heater disposed in a fluid path. A bubble is generated by supplying electric power to the heater, and ink is ejected in a direction substantially parallel to a face of the heater. The fluid path is shaped to have a first part with a constant-sectional area adjacent to an ejection orifice a second part located behind the first part and containing the heater. The cross-sectional area of the second part increases by twice as large as the cross-sectional area of the ejection orifice, a length (A) between an end of the first part of the fluid path and a top end of the heater is greater than or equal to half of the height Ph of the ejection orifice, and a shortest gap between the ejection orifice and the heater is less than or equal to a sum of a half of the height Ph of the ejection orifice and a length (L) of the first part of the fluid path.

A liquid jet recording method of recording on a recording material with liquid droplets discharged trough plural scanning nozzles, in which: n/(s/p)≧2 n/(s/p)×k=g−1 are satisfied, where n (n≧2) is a number of the nozzles arranged at pitch P (&mgr;m); s (&mgr;m) is a distance of relative movement between the nozzles and the recording material between adjacent scans; k (k≧1) is a maximum number of ink droplets per pixel and per scan; g (g≧3) is a number of tone levels.
摘要:
A liquid jet recording method for recording on a recording material with liquid droplets discharged through plural scanning nozzles arranged in a width measured in a direction of main scan. The recording method includes a first main scan by relative movement between the nozzles and the recording material, in which pixels are recorded with numbers of droplets through a nozzle, the numbers of droplets corresponding to respective tone signals. The method also includes a sub-scan by relative movement between the nozzles and the recording material in a direction crossing with a movement direction of the first main scan. The method further includes a second main scan in which the pixels are recorded with numbers of droplets through a different nozzle, the latter numbers of droplets corresponding to tone level signals. The sub-scan and second main scan steps are repeated to record a tone image by discharging plural droplets for a pixel.

摘要:
Each of pixels of recorded image is formed by a plurality of dots composed with ink droplets ejected from a plurality of different orifices at individual different main-scannings. With this recording process, the variation of ink ejection characteristics between a plurality of orifices in a recording head can be reduced in forming pixels.

Each of branched ink supply passages 42ai to 42an and 42bi to 42bn in a driving substrates 32 is constituted of a parallel passage portion 46a and a narrow passage portion 48a. An ink from an ink supply opening 32a is supplied to a receptacle portions 50 respectively receiving heater portions 32ai to 32an and 32bi to 32bn via the branched ink supply passages 42ai to 42an and 42bi to 42bn.
摘要:
A line of ink nozzles in an ink-jet recording head is inclined obliquely from a scanning line, and one pixel is formed by a plurality of ink droplets discharged from different ink nozzles. Thus, a high halftone recording image without stripes (banding) due to a variation of a discharged ink volume or unevenness of recording image density, can be obtained. Moreover, since there is a large degree of freedom in designing an amount of the discharged ink volume, high packing density of ink nozzles can be easily achieved.
摘要:
Two lines extending in the main scanning direction build a set of lines (L1, L2) each of which is formed by a plurality of dots. Assignment is alternately executed to preceding scanning and subsequent scanning so as to allow each of the lines (L1, L2) formed by a number of pixels (P1, P2, P4, P3, P5, P6, P8, P7, - - - ) to extend along a snake movement-like route. Thus, dots located adjacent to each other in the auxiliary scanning direction are not formed by same scanning, and a quantity of ink spreading on a recording medium without penetration of the ink through the latter can be reduced. Consequently, there few arises stripe and fluctuation in density, whereby an excellent quality of image having sharp edge portions can be obtained without any occurrence of a problem attributable to the presence of unfixed ink.
摘要:
An image corresponding to a single sheet of recording paper is divided into three decomposed images each having the substantially same expansion as that of the image, and one of the decomposed images is recorded on the recording paper while a drum is rotated and the recording head is continuously moved at a distance corresponding to a width of the recording head. Subsequently, other decomposed images are successively recorded on the recording paper. Thus, recording of the respective decomposed image is performed at a predetermined time interval kept between two continuous recordings. The foregoing time interval can be used as a time required for ink permeation into the recording medium.
