    摘要: An actuator drive circuit of a liquid discharge apparatus includes a discharge waveform generating circuit, a sleep waveform generating circuit, and a wake waveform generating circuit. The discharge waveform generating circuit is configured to generate a plurality of drive waveforms to be applied to actuators of the liquid discharge apparatus for liquid discharge. The drive waveforms correspond to gradation values of gradation scale data. The sleep waveform generating circuit is configured to generate a sleep waveform to be applied to the actuators. The sleep waveform causes a voltage of the actuators to transition to a first voltage without liquid discharge. The wake waveform generating circuit is configured to generate a wake waveform to be applied to the actuators. The wake waveform causes the voltage of the actuators to transition to a second voltage higher than the first voltage without liquid discharge.

    摘要: Large, overlapping "mega-dots", placed on small, high resolution pixel locations, are used in high quality monochrome imaging to preserve information to the micro, or pixel, level, thus avoiding the need to use micro-sized droplets. By using multiple passes and multiple pens with different levels of gray ink, one may build a single monochrome 600 dpi (dots per inch) pixel with the composite gray of those droplets at that pixel location as well as the neighboring locations. With careful print modes and multiple passes, one can produce several levels of gray at a particular pixel location. The biggest advantage of using multipixel dots is that the sensitivity to trajectory errors is significantly reduced. For example, a dot that is 1/150.sup.th inch diameter is almost indifferent to a 1/1200.sup.th trajectory error. Even a relatively large 1/600.sup.th inch error has little impact on the large 1/150.sup.th dot (25% error). In reducing the sensitivity to trajectory errors, overall imaging errors, such as banding, can be reduced, and overall image quality enhanced. Optimally, the large dots have a diameter that is about three to five times the pixel size, providing an overlap of three to five dots, respectively.
