摘要:
An ink jet recording head is provided with a nozzle formation face on which nozzles for ejecting ink drops in accordance with print data are formed. A capping member for sealing the nozzle formation face has an inner space formed with a bottom. An ink absorbing member is provided on the bottom of the inner space. In a first flushing mode, ink drops are ejected into the capping member in a state that the nozzle formation face is sealed by the capping member. In a second flushing mode, ink drops are ejected into the capping member in a state that the capping member is separated from the nozzle formation face. Either the first flushing mode or the second flushing mode is selectively performed.

摘要:
An image forming apparatus which includes a head for discharging colored radiation curable ink and colorless radiation curable ink that are cured upon irradiation with electromagnetic waves onto a medium, and a controller for causing dots of the colored radiation curable ink and dots of the colorless radiation curable ink to be densely arranged.
摘要:
A liquid ejecting method using a liquid discharging apparatus, the method including: a first process, forming dots on a medium in a predetermined direction at a first interval by discharging liquid that is cured when electromagnetic waves are irradiated to the medium; a second process, irradiating the dots formed on the medium with electromagnetic waves; a third process, forming dots in the predetermined direction at the first interval so that the dots formed in the first process and the dots formed in the third process are positioned in the predetermined direction at a second interval which is shorter than the first interval; and a fourth process, irradiating the dots formed on the medium with electromagnetic waves.

A printing method includes: preparing a printing apparatus provided with a carry unit that carries a medium in a carrying direction, and a plurality of nozzle groups that have respectively a plurality of nozzles lined up in the carrying direction; and printing an image to be printed on the medium by alternately repeating a dot forming process for forming dots on the medium by ejecting ink from each nozzle of a plurality of the nozzle groups that move in a moving direction, and a carrying process for carrying the medium in the carrying direction, and forming a plurality of rows of dots, lined up in the carrying direction, that are configured by a plurality of dots lined up in the moving direction, wherein in a case a certain row of dots is formed by a plurality of the nozzles, if, of a plurality of the nozzles that form the certain row of dots, the number of nozzles of a certain nozzle group is smaller than, of a plurality of the nozzles that form the certain row of dots, the number of nozzles of another nozzle group, each nozzle of the certain nozzle group forms a larger number of dots configuring the certain row of dots than each nozzle of the another nozzle group.
摘要:
A printing method etc. capable of suppressing degradation in image quality of border sections between regions respectively printed by a plurality of nozzle rows that eject ink droplets is achieved. The printing method includes a step of setting, when at least two print heads that move in a movement direction intersecting a carrying direction and that include a plurality of nozzle rows each including a plurality of nozzles arranged in the carrying direction are moved in the movement direction, one ejecting method, of among a plurality of ejecting methods in which the nozzles for actually ejecting ink droplets are appropriately changed between an upstream-side nozzle and a downstream-side nozzle, for each of a plurality of aligned nozzle sections that are arranged such that the downstream-side nozzle of one print head and the upstream-side nozzle of the other print head, of the nozzle rows provided in different print heads, are aligned in the movement direction; and a step of ejecting ink droplets from the aligned nozzle sections according to the one ejecting method that has been set.
摘要:
There is provided a plurality of dot printing modes each defining printing operations during main- and sub-scanning. A preferable dot printing mode is selected according to mode selection information that is predetermined to specify the preferable printing mode, and printing is executed according to the preferable dot printing mode specified by the mode selection information. The plurality of dot printing modes are divided into a plurality of printing mode groups according to combination of print resolution and printing speed. The mode selection information specifies the preferable dot printing mode for each printing mode group. One of the plurality of printing mode groups is selected in initial settings of the printing apparatus.
摘要:
A printing apparatus has: ink-ejecting section units, each ink-ejecting section unit having ink-ejecting sections each being provided for ejecting an ink of a different color based on a gradation value that has been converted; a memory for storing darkness-correspondence information that correlates, for each ink color, darkness of images each printed using a different one of predetermined ink-ejecting sections each having an ink-ejection amount different from one another, and a darkness of an image printed using a reference ink amount; and a converting section for converting, for every pixel, a gradation value of image data to be printed, based on a correlation in the darkness-correspondence information between a darkness of an image printed using the predetermined ink-ejecting section that ejects an amount of ink that corresponds to an average value of the ink-ejection amounts respectively ejected from the ink-ejecting sections, and the darkness of the image printed using the reference ink amount.
