摘要:
There is disclosed an image forming apparatus for recording an original image read by a reading unit on a recording medium uses a recording head having an array of a plurality of recording elements. The apparatus includes pattern forming unit for forming, on the recording medium, a test pattern having an area larger than an array range of the plurality of recording elements using the recording head in accordance with a predetermined operation, a detection unit for causing the reading unit to read the test pattern formed on the recording medium by the pattern forming unit in accordance with a predetermined operation, and detecting a density distribution within the array range of the plurality of recording elements, a generation unit for generating correction data of a drive condition for uniforming a density during image formation on the basis of the density distribution detected by the detection unit in correspondence with the plurality of recording elements, and a guide unit for display the predetermined operations on a display unit.

An ink jet textile printing method forms an image on cloths in an image forming operation by repeating a step of applying ink on the cloths from an ink discharge port of a recording head, the recording head relatively main-scanning to form the image in a main scan direction, and a step of relatively conveying the cloths in a sub-scan direction. The method includes the steps of forming the image on the cloths by applying ink on the cloths from the recording head based on image data. The method further includes the step of temporarily stopping the image forming operation in accordance with an indication to effect a temporary halt of the image forming operation. When the temporary halt is indicated while the recording head performs a main scan in the image forming operation, the image forming operation by the main scan is completed, and then the temporary halt of the image forming operation is effected by moving the recording head to a standby position. The method still further includes the step of releasing the temporary halt of the image forming operation and restarting the image forming operation in accordance with an indication for releasing the temporary halt of the image forming operation. When the release of the temporary halt is indicated, ink is discharged from the ink discharge port and then the image forming operation is restarted.

An image forming apparatus includes reading means for reading the density of a test pattern corresponding to each of plural recording elements of a recording head, the recording elements being arranged in an array, and the test pattern being recorded by the recording elements. An eliminating means eliminates error information, recorded from an area outside a test pattern are, from density information obtained by the reading means when the density of a test pattern end portion corresponding to an end portion of the array of plural of recording elements is determined. A means is provided for uniforming the image densities in correspondence with the plurality of recording elements based on density information from which the error information is eliminated by the eliminating means.

A correction data production apparatus includes a detecting unit for reading a test pattern formed by a recording head having a plurality of recording elements constituting an array, and for detecting a density distribution of a range of the array of the plurality of recording elements, a corresponding unit for causing the density distribution detected by the detecting unit to correspond to the plurality of recording elements on the basis of a reference position where a density of an end portion of the density distribution reaches a predetermined threshold value, a production unit for producing correction data for an image formation density uniforming drive conditions in correspondence with the plurality of recording elements on the basis of the density distribution corresponded by the corresponding unit, and a changing unit for changing the threshold value in accordance with characteristics of the test pattern.
摘要:
An ink jet textile printing apparatus for performing printing by reading an original image created by a designer, converting the original image into original data represented by an electric signal, retrieving the original data for processing to be output as image data, and recording data on cloth based on the image data. The ink jet textile printing apparatus has a first ink jet recording head provided upstream of a recording position, and a second ink jet recording head provided downstream thereof, and is provided with a drying unit located between the recording heads, whereby high-quality recorded images with less bleeding can be obtained by recording on a recording area again with the second ink jet recording head after drying the recording area on the cloth recorded by the first ink jet recording head with the drying unit.
摘要:
The present invention relates to image recording apparatus for performing image recording on a recording medium by using plural types of recording heads, each having a plurality of recording elements comprising an array. A test pattern forming unit for forming test patterns on the recording medium by using the plural types of recording heads, a reading unit for reading the test patterns recorded by the test pattern recording unit, and a correction unit for correcting image signals for driving the recording elements in accordance with the recording elements and types of recording heads on the basis of data read by the reading unit are included whereby image density is made uniform.

An information processor and method enable a user to perform printing by using a printing instruction button in a simple easily-understandable process in a case where a link to printing contents is included in service contents.
摘要:
An online print system including a server and a print apparatus capable of communicating with the server via the Internet is provided. The print apparatus receives display page data from the server, analyzes the display page data and requests the server to print the display page data in accordance with link information included in the display page data. The server obtains the print page data using the link information, forms an index file including information indicating outlines of respective pages of the print page data, and transmits the index file to the print apparatus. The print apparatus receives the index file together with the print page data from the server apparatus and displays the index file. A page to be subjected to printing is designated on the basis of the displayed index file and the designated page is printed on the basis of the print page data.
摘要:
An apparatus for performing the printing by scanning a carriage having a plurality of print heads mounted in a predetermined direction relative to the printing medium, so that an image is formed to have a desired color tone and density without decreased throughput. Conversion data for reproducing the color tone and the scan range of the carriage are changed in accordance with the used heads among the mounted heads. Also, the replaceability can be enhanced and the longer life for each group is attained by grouping the heads mounted. Further, the scan range of recording and the scan range for the recovery can be changed by selecting the group for use in accordance with the recording mode. Also, in an ink jet printing apparatus having a longer print length, a printing method for effecting the stable recording is provided.
