    摘要: Disclosed is an inkjet printing apparatus for forming an image by repeatedly causing the scanning of a printhead that prints an image in a scan area using inks of a plurality of types. Residual duty, which is obtained by quantifying the mixed state of the inks used in printing the image in the scan area, is defined. The residual duty with regard to the next scan area is found from image data, the scanning direction for printing in the next scan area is decided based upon the residual duty, and the area is printed in the scanning direction that has been decided. Thus, back-and-forth scanning and unidirectional scanning are used jointly in appropriate fashion in accordance with the printed image. As a result, high-quality printing of an image becomes possible and a higher printing speed is achieved.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for ink jet printing use a print head including a first nozzle group for discharging a first ink, a second nozzle group for discharging a second ink and a third nozzle group for discharging a printability improving solution. The third nozzle group is displaced between the first nozzle group and the second nozzle group. The first nozzle group discharges the first ink on the printing medium based on image data to form an image, the third nozzle group discharges the printability improving solution on the image formed on the printing medium by means of another step, and the second nozzle group discharges the second ink on the image formed on the printing medium. The printability improving solution has higher penetrability into the printing medium compared to the ink.The method and apparatus can attain a clear colored, high density image without color mixing, which has high water resistance on plain paper, with a low running cost.

    摘要: An ink jet recording apparatus which carries out, in a decimated multipass print mode, paper transfer by an extra amount (2.5 .mu.m) beyond a standard paper transfer amount corresponding to a quarter of the total number of nozzles in the nozzle arrangement of a recording head. This can displace dots formed in subsequent scannings from dots formed in previous scannings by amounts of 2.5 .mu.m, 5 .mu.m, 7.5 .mu.m and 10 .mu.m, and reduce the overlap of the dots at boundary regions in the decimated multipass print mode. In a one pass print mode, the paper transfer amount per scanning is set less than the sum total of the four paper transfer amounts of the decimated multipass print mode so that dot overlaps take place as countermeasures against paper transfer errors. This makes it possible to achieve high quality image recording by preventing both the white bandings at the boundary regions in the one pass print mode that prints one unit area by one scanning, and black bandings at boundary regions in the decimated multipass print mode that prints the one unit area by a plurality of scannings, thereby achieving high quality recording.
