摘要:
A method of forming a black image on a recording member includes the steps of providing each of a black ink having a first penetration rate and at least one color ink having a second penetration rate different from the first penetration rate, applying the at least one color ink to the recording member, and applying the black ink to the recording member after the at least one color ink has been absorbed into the recording member is disclosed. An ink-jet recording apparatus is also disclosed.
摘要:
There are provided a color image forming method with liquids, capable of ensuring sharpness and high density in basically all the color images, and a recording apparatus therefor. This invention employs a black ink of relatively superior diffusibility and color inks of relatively superior penetrability, different in color from the black ink, and is characterized by forming the boundary area of a black image area with the color inks instead of the black ink.

Disclosed herein is an ink comprising a coloring material and a liquid medium dissolving the coloring material therein, wherein the ink comprises a dye having at least one ammonium ion as a counter ion and an ammonium salt of an inorganic or organic acid.
摘要:
Provided is an ink-jet recording process for forming a color image on a recording medium using a liquid formulation and a color ink in combination, wherein the liquid formulation contains a cationic polymer having a weight-average molecular weight in the range of from 400 to 1,400, and the liquid formulation and the ink are each ejected from a recording head having an ink ejection volume per dot of from 2 to 25 picolitters.
摘要:
In a jet recording method, a recording material is placed in a path defined by a nozzle leading to an ejection outlet, and then heated by actuating a heater disposed within the nozzle to generate a bubble within the recording material, thus ejecting a droplet of the recording material out of the ejection outlet under the action of the bubble to be attached onto recording paper. As improvement, the recording material is pre-heated by actuating the heater before the heating for generating the bubble, and the generated bubble is caused to communicate with ambience. As a result, the ejection of the recording material droplet is stabilized without causing splash or mist.
摘要:
A normally solid recording material is heat-melted in a path defined by a nozzle leading to an ejection outlet and is imparted with a thermal energy from a heater corresponding to a recording signal to generate a bubble. As a result, a droplet of the recording material is ejected out of the ejection outlet under the action of the bubble while the bubble is caused to communicated with ambience. The normally solid recording material preferably contains a colorant, a first heat-fusible solid substance having a melting point Tm of 36.degree.-150.degree. C. and a boiling point Tb of 150.degree.-370.degree. C., and a second heat-fusible solid substance having a melting point Tm and a solidifying point Tf satisfying a relationship of Tm-Tf.ltoreq.30.degree. C. The distance between the heater and the ejection outlet, the sectional size of the nozzle and the thermal energy imparted by the heater are controlled to cause the bubble to communicate with ambience.

A liquid jet recording method includes applying thermal energy to liquid in a liquid passage to produce film boiling of the liquid to produce a bubble; permitting the bubble to communicate with ambience; wherein the liquid passage is not blocked in the communicating step.
摘要:
In a jet recording method, a normally solid recording material is placed in a heat-melted state in a path defined by a nozzle leading to an ejection outlet and, in a recording step, is imparted with a thermal energy corresponding to a recording signal to generate a bubble, thus ejecting a droplet of the recording material out of the ejection outlet. As an improvement, prior to the recording step, the recording material is sucked or pressurized to be ejected out of the ejection outlet and, in the recording step, the bubble is communicated with ambience. As a result, the recording is started or resumed without discharge failure even after a long time of non-use or standing state.

In a jet recording method, a normally solid recording material is placed in a heat-melted state in a path defined by a nozzle leading to an ejection outlet and, in a recording step, is imparted with a thermal energy corresponding to a recording signal to generate a bubble, thus ejecting a droplet of the recording material out of the ejection outlet. As an improvement, in the recording step, the bubble is caused to communicate with ambience, and the droplet is ejected in a diameter d (.mu.m) and at an average speed v (m/sec) satisfying: 10.ltoreq.d.ltoreq.60 and 7.ltoreq.v.ltoreq.20. As a result, the droplet is deposited on a recording medium without pileup or scattering.
