Abstract: Image processing apparatus and image processing method for formation of high quality image by high-speed error diffusion processing by execution of more complicated threshold condition processing in a simple manner. When error diffusion processing is performed on multivalued image data having plural density components and the result of processing is outputted, upon execution of error diffusion processing on a first density component among the plural density components, a threshold value used in the error diffusion processing is determined based on a density value of a second density component, then the error diffusion processing is performed on the first density component based on the determined threshold value, and the result of execution of the error diffusion processing is outputted. Further, upon execution of the error diffusion processing on the second density component among the plural density components, a threshold value used in the error diffusion processing is determined based on a density value of the first density component, then the error diffusion processing is performed on the second density component based on the determined threshold value, and the result of the error diffusion processing is outputted.

Abstract: The present inventions allow the detection of ink in the printing head by significantly simplified their configurations and on which various printing systems can be widely applied. There are a heater (101) for supplying an energy to ejecting ink, a driver (102) for driving heater (101), and a detection electrode (118) capable of detecting a voltage variation between the heater (101) and the driver (102) to be occurred depending on the driving of the heater (101). Furthermore, an insulating film (410) that covers the surface of the detection electrode (118) prevents a chemical or physical change from the detection electrode (118). Furthermore, a reference element group or a reference unit that produces a signal as a reference of the detection signal avoids the influence of noise. Furthermore, an energy-generating element (101) and another signal source (101) improve the accuracy of ink-detection. A drive pulse which is insufficient to ejecting ink may be supplied to the heater (101) to improve the accuracy of ink-detection.

Abstract: This invention relates to an ink set which can form a colored area on a recording medium with a broad color reproduction range, excellent uniformity of the colors, with effective prevention of bleeding at the boundary between adjacent different color areas on a recording medium, and high rub-off resistance of the colored area. The ink set has separately an aqueous anionic or cationic ink containing a coloring material, and a liquid composition containing fine particles dispersed therein and electrically charged at the surface in a polarity opposite to the ink. The ink and the liquid composition are adjusted to give, when mixed at a mixing weight ration of about 1:1, a pH of the liquid mixture to cause aggregation of at least the coloring material.

Abstract: On the basis of an image data for one line, ejection data is established distributed ejection data in a period of two pixels for each scan for performing printing by scanning twice with different ejection openings. Then, a processing liquid data is generated with a processing liquid mask of a period of three pixels which is prime to the period of two pixels, with respect to the ejection data. By this, with respect to results of a first scan and a second scan, pixels, on which an ink and a processing liquid are overlaid can be distributed uniformly. As a result, it is never differentiate order of application of the processing liquid by performing printing in the order of second scan and the first scan in other scanning region from correspondence of the ejection openings.

Abstract: The invention intends to improve the efficiency of recording, e.g., to shorten a recording time, while preventing an excessive temperature rise of an ink jet head. To that end, in a control method for an ink jet recording apparatus with which an amount of heat generated by the head is restricted when a condition of a head temperature being not lower than a predetermined threshold is found by the use of means for detecting the head temperature and an environment temperature around the head, an extent of restricting the amount of heat generated by the head is changed depending on the environment temperature or a difference between the head temperature and the environment temperature.
