Abstract: A method for manufacturing an inkjet recording head includes an ejecting step, a measuring step, dividing step and applying step. The ejecting step ejects test ink droplets and print ink droplets from nozzles. The measuring step measures ejection results of the test ink droplets. The dividing step divides a plurality of nozzles into a plurality of groups based on the ejection results. The applying step applies a group-based polarizing voltage determined for each group to the piezoelectric elements belonging to a corresponding group to polarize the piezoelectric elements so that ejection results of the print ink droplets fall in a predetermined range.

Abstract: A computer portion 201 of a printer includes a memory storing a printer driver software 201a and nozzle profile data 211. The printer driver software 201a includes a raster image processor (RIP) 203. When the RIP 203 receives document data 209, the RIP 203 converts the document data 209 into bitmap data 210 which is one dot/one bit data for 300 data/inch. Then, the nozzle data converting portion 204 converts the bitmap data 210 into driving data 212 based on the nozzle profile data 211. At this time, each bit of the bitmap data 210 is replaced by 16 bits. That is, the data amount is increased to 16 times of the bitmap data 210. Accordingly, fine control of ink ejection can be achieved.

Abstract: An inkjet coating method can achieve high-performance coating with a simple system by forming a precise and uniform coat over a coating area and precise edge parts on the periphery of the coating area. The inkjet coating method, firstly, extracts an edge image and an internal image from coating image. Next, the inkjet coating method forms the edge image including a plurality of edge image portions each extending to different directions, while forming each edge image portion by a single nozzle. And then, the inkjet coating method forms the internal image using a leveling technique.

Abstract: During a printing operation, a recording device is switched from a normal mode to a refresh ejection mode so as to temporarily increase an ejection frequency. A refresh ink droplet ejected in the refresh ejection mode is deflected to impinge on an ink collector. Recording ink droplets ejected in the refresh ejection mode are deflected and impinge on a recording sheet at positions that are shifted by gradually smaller distances.

Abstract: When a pixel-dividing number is increased to a predetermined number or more, then nozzles in each nozzle group become in one-to-one correspondence with the sub-pixel number, so that only one of the nozzles performs ink ejection at one time. Accordingly an analog driving signal drives only a single nozzle in the corresponding group at one time. Therefore, by trimming the analog driving signal in accordance with a subject nozzle each time, the all-amount trimming is possible without providing a large number of analog-driving-signal generating devices for all of the nozzles.

Abstract translation: 当像素分割数增加到预定数量以上时，每个喷嘴组中的喷嘴与子像素数成一一对应，使得只有一个喷嘴一次执行喷墨。 因此，模拟驱动信号一次仅驱动相应组中的单个喷嘴。 因此，通过每次根据被检体喷嘴调整模拟驱动信号，可以在不为所有喷嘴提供大量模拟驱动信号生成装置的情况下进行全量修整。

Abstract: When ink droplets are ejected, angled or splashed where a plurality of minute ink droplets are generated, angled or splashed ink clings on an electrode 401, 402 and increases the amount of electric current conducted therethrough. Hence, the defectiveness of ink ejection can be detected by monitoring the amount of the electric current. When the defectiveness of ink ejection is detected, ejection data D is retrieved and updates the ejection data D based on a condition register S, and set to a defect register E. When the defect register E has only one element that takes a condition value of 1 indicating defectiveness, the corresponding nozzle is identified as defective. The restoring means reallocates dots, which have been originally allocated to the defective nozzle, to neighboring nozzle.
