    Abstract: It is checked whether an ink used in a print head has a high density. The type of a printing medium used for a print operation is also identified. An image is printed by scanning the print head once or a plurality of numbers of times. When a print operation is to be performed by using a thick ink, an image is printed by using mask data and the driving frequency of the head which are set for the thick ink. When a print operation is to be performed by using a thin ink, an image is printed by using mask data and the driving frequency of the head which are set for the thin ink and the type of printing medium used for the print operation. Codes of the respective color data of print data are determined in accordance with the types of inks used for a print operation, and an image is printed by printing a plurality of dots or dots in an overlapping state by the multi-pass method.

    Abstract: The present invention is to achieve formation of a 2
    n -value image with data of n bits, thereby reducing the amount of image information to be transferred and processed, while improving the tonal rendition, thereby realizing high-quality recording system in the dot matrix recording suitable for personal use. For this purpose there is disclosed an ink jet recording apparatus and a method therefor, comprising an image process unit for generating multi-value information, an identification unit for identifying that the image data are multi-value information, an identification unit for the recording head, and an analysis unit for decoding the n-bit information, and featured by effecting multi-value recording while processing the n-bit data as multi-value information.

    Abstract: A print apparatus that, without significantly reducing an overall printing speed, allows a reduction in uneven densities due to the discharge time difference between black ink and color inks, which occur particularly at both ends in a scanning range and which are caused by the printing by bidirectional scanning of print heads, and enables high image-quality printing to be realized. In this print apparatus, one band is divided into plural areas in a main scanning direction, the dot numbers of black ink and color ink imparted to respective areas are counted. If there are any areas where the dot numbers of both black and color exceed respective threshold values, the area number is counted, and if the number exceeds a predetermined number, the print mode is switched from bidirectional printing to a unidirectional one, upon determining that there is a high probability of occurrence of the above-described uneven densities.

    Abstract: A printing apparatus can reduce degradation in print quality of a printed image, notably in a highlight portion or an intermediate gradation portion in the case where the image is printed by forming dots of a plurality of sizes. Specifically, data (C) and (SC) causing larger and smaller cyan ink droplets, respectively, to be ejected are independently subjected to a conversion to n-value process. Thus, the data (C) for larger ink droplets is present in a portion of printing data (128 or more) which corresponds to the highlight portion or intermediate gradation portion of the image. During printing, larger dots are formed in this area, thereby making it difficult to perceive possible stripes caused by the offset of the positions at which smaller dots impact a sheet.

    Abstract: The method involves generating printing data to be printed by each of two adjacent printing nozzle arrays on basis of tone information of image data to be printed. The printing data is generated in a range in which a sum of number of dots to be printed by two arrays does not exceed a predetermined number. Ink is discharged to a pixel of printing medium from the arrays on basis of the printing data generated. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) an ink-jet printing apparatus (b) a program to control an ink-jet printing apparatus.
