Abstract:
A recording apparatus having a black ink recording head (2A) for discharging black ink onto a recording material (7) and at least one single color non-black recording head (20,2D,2E) for discharging non-black ink onto the recording material (7) includes a recording head driver (23) for driving the recording heads to discharge the ink onto the recording material (7); and a controller for controlling the recording head driver so that a volume, per unit area of the recording material, of the black ink discharged from the blue ink recording head and deposited on the recording region of the recording material is larger than that of the non-black ink discharged from the non-black ink recording head and deposited on the recording region of the recording material (7).
Abstract:
In a recording apparatus for recording on a recording medium by using a plurality of recording heads arrange at a predetermined interval in a scan direction, said recording heads are caused to scan corresponding divided recording areas, said recording heads are caused to make the record by sharing the corresponding divided recording areas when said recording heads are caused to scan the divided recording areas, and record signals to be inputted to the recording heads corresponding to the divided recording areas to be recorded in the shared manner, are independently corrected for each of the divided recording areas. As a result, the occurrence of the density difference between divided areas is prevented.
Abstract:
A recording apparatus performs recording on a recording medium by using a coloring material-containing ink accommodated in a first accommodating portion (150K, 150C, 150M, 150Y) and processing liquid contained in a second accommodating portion (150L, 150R) to make insoluble or coagulate the coloring material in the ink. This recording apparatus includes a means (100) to hold a first ink jet head (101K, 101C, 101M, 101Y) to eject the ink and a second ink jet head (101L, 101R) to eject the processing liquid in line and in an opposing relationship with the recording surface of the recording medium, and a control means (701) to control the ejecting of the processing liquid from the second ink jet head (101L, 101R) in connection with the ejecting of the ink from the first ink jet head (101K, 101C, 101M, 101Y).
Abstract:
An ink jet recording apparatus for performing recording using a recording head for ejecting an ink from a plurality of ejection orifices, includes a print control unit for performing a print operation while switching a print mode between a thin multi-pass print mode for sequentially recording divided recording data in a plurality of number of times of relative scan operations of the recording head with respect to a single recording area, and a 1-pass print mode for recording all recording data in a single relative scan operation of the recording head, and an eject quantity control unit for controlling the eject quantity of the ink ejected from the recording head so that a total ink quantity on the recording area in the thin multi-pass print mode is larger than a total ink quantity in the 1-pass print mode.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a sheet convey apparatus comprising a convey roller contacting with a sheet while rotating to apply a convey force to the sheet, a pinch roller for cooperating with the convey roller to convey the sheet, a support means for supporting a center of the pinch roller in its widthwise direction, and a biasing means for biasing the support means in such a manner that the support means urges the pinch roller against the convey roller in the widthwise direction of the pinch roller.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a recording apparatus for performing recording such that a carriage mounted with a recording head moves along a guide shaft. The recording apparatus includes a magnetic linear encoder consisting of a scale element magnetized and a detection unit for detecting magnetized information magnetized to the scale element. Provided also are clicks formed on any one of the detection unit and the carriage and click engaging portions formed in the other one of the detection unit and the carriage. The clicks engage with the click engaging portions, whereby the detection unit is snap-locked to the carriage. This enables the detection unit of the magnetic linear encoder to be readily attached to the carriage and besides, when attached, prevents disorder of the information magnetized to the scale element. Further, even when a position of the carriage shifts corresponding to sheets having different thicknesses, a sliding load of the carriage does not change. A deformation and abrasion of the scale element of the magnetic linear encoder are restrained as much as possible. Moreover, the abrasion of bearings of a head of the magnetic linear encoder is eliminated.
