Description
前記第1の吐出口のみで構成され、隣接する第1の吐出口同士が異なるブロックに分割された複数のブロックと、前記第2の吐出口のみで構成され、隣接する第2の吐出口同士が異なるブロックに分割された複数のブロックと、を有し、前記第1の吐出口のみで構成される複数のブロックよりも前記第2の吐出口のみで構成される複数のブロックを先に時分割駆動する時分割駆動手段を備えることを特徴とするインクジェット記録装置である。
図4は、本発明に係るインクジェット記録装置の構成を模式的に示す斜視図である。図4において、記録手段としてのヘッドカートリッジ1はキャリッジ2に着脱可能に搭載されており、このヘッドカートリッジ1はそれぞれが異なる種類のインクで記録するための4個のヘッドカートリッジ1A,1B,1C,1Dから構成されている。
各ヘッドカートリッジ1A,1B,1C,1Dのそれぞれには、記録ヘッドを駆動する信号を受けるためのコネクタが設けられている。なお、以下の説明ではヘッドカートリッジ1A,1B,1C,1Dの全体または任意の1つを指す場合、単にヘッドカートリッジ1で示すことにする。
図5は、本発明に係るインクジェット記録装置の制御システムの構成を示すブロック図である。
以下、上記のような構成のインクジェット記録装置に本発明を適用する、実施例1について説明する。
以下、本発明における実施例2について説明する。
実施例3に用いる記録ヘッドは、図6に示した前述の記録ヘッドと同一の吐出口配列であり、各吐出口の構成、信号構成も同様である。具体的には偶数吐出口列、奇数吐出口列あわせて1200dpiに対応する間隔(約21.2μm)で吐出口が配列され、各吐出口群は128の吐出口を有し、全部で512の吐出口を有する。
本実施例に用いる記録ヘッドは、図12に示した前述の記録ヘッドと同一の吐出口配列であり、各吐出口の構成、信号構成も同様である。具体的には偶数吐出口列、奇数吐出口列あわせて1200dpiに対応する間隔(約42.5μm)で吐出口が配列され、各吐出口群は128の吐出口をもち、大吐出口群が256の吐出口、小吐出口群が256の吐出口の、計512の吐出口を有する。
実施例5は実施例1と同様の構成でありながら吐出特性の異なる記録ヘッドを用いた場合の実施例である。記録ヘッドは図24に示すが、図6に示した前述の記録ヘッドと同一の吐出口配列を有しており、各吐出口の構成も同様である。具体的には偶数吐出口列、奇数吐出口列あわせて1200dpiに対応する間隔(約21.2μm)で吐出口が配列され、各吐出口列は256の吐出口を有し、全部で512吐出口を有する。実施例1で用いた記録ヘッドとの構成上の違いは、本実施例で用いられる記録ヘッドは、吐出口群702Aから吐出されるインクドットがインク供給路106側に傾いて吐出されることである。また、吐出口群702Bから吐出されるインクドットがインク供給路106とは逆側に傾いて吐出されることである。
102 偶数の吐出口列
103 奇数の吐出口列
104 吐出口
105 インク流路
106 インク供給路
Claims (2)
- 第1の吐出量のインクを吐出する第1の吐出口と前記第1の吐出量よりも小さい第2の吐出量のインクを吐出する第2の吐出口とが交互に同一列上に配置された記録ヘッドと、該記録ヘッドを搭載して移動するためのキャリッジと、を備えるインクジェット記録装置において、
前記第1の吐出口のみで構成され、隣接する第1の吐出口同士が異なるブロックに分割された複数のブロックと、前記第2の吐出口のみで構成され、隣接する第2の吐出口同士が異なるブロックに分割された複数のブロックと、を有し、前記第1の吐出口のみで構成される複数のブロックよりも前記第2の吐出口のみで構成される複数のブロックを先に時分割駆動する時分割駆動手段を備えることを特徴とするインクジェット記録装置。 - 前記第2の吐出口から吐出されたインクの記録媒体への着弾時の速度は、前記第1の吐出口から吐出されたインクの前記記録媒体への着弾時の速度よりも小さいことを特徴とする請求項1に記載のインクジェット記録装置。
