- the clear ink discharged when moving in the going direction A is cured by the first ultraviolet lamp 106 when moving in the returning direction B, and the recording paper 200 is further conveyed forward. After that, it is cured by the second ultraviolet lamp 1 when moving in the going direction A and the returning direction B.
- the clear ink is cured by the first ultraviolet lamp 106 after a certain amount of time has elapsed from the ejection and after the surface becomes smooth. Therefore, the unevenness of the printing surface of the clear ink is reduced, and printing with high gloss can be realized.
- the clear ink is cured by the first ultraviolet lamp 106 and then cured again by the second ultraviolet lamp 1. Therefore, the clear ink can be cured more reliably.
- the first ultraviolet lamp 106 is used when the ink head 102 moves in the going direction A or the returning direction B.
- the light is turned off and the second ultraviolet lamp 1 is turned on.
- the clear ink is irradiated with ultraviolet rays only by the second ultraviolet lamp 1. According to this method, a sufficient time is ensured after the ink discharge until the ultraviolet irradiation. Therefore, printing with higher gloss can be realized.
- each of the above methods was a method in unidirectional printing. However, as shown in FIGS. 3C and 3D, the above-described methods can also be used in bidirectional printing. By discharging the clear ink in both the direction A and the return direction B, the clear ink can be printed twice on the recording paper 200, and the glossiness of the printed matter is further improved.
- the start time of irradiating the clear ink with ultraviolet rays is not just after the landing but after a predetermined time has elapsed. According to this, the ultraviolet light is irradiated to the clear ink having a smooth surface state as the predetermined time elapses. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a printed matter having a good gloss feeling.
- the clear ink in the second step, can be cured by the first ultraviolet lamp 106 or the second ultraviolet lamp 1 while discharging the clear ink from the print head 103b. Therefore, the clear ink is cured in a short time as compared with a method in which clear ink is printed on almost the entire surface of the recording paper 200 and then the entire recording paper 200 is once returned to the rear and then the clear ink is cured. Can do. Therefore, the printing time can be shortened. Note that the effect of shortening the printing time becomes more prominent as the length of the recording paper 200 in the sub-scanning direction X is longer.

Abstract
Description
(インクジェットプリンタの構成)
図1に示すように、インクジェットプリンタ100は、装置本体101と、装置本体101に固定されたガイドレール122とを備えている。装置本体101には、記録紙200を支持するプラテン112が設けられている。ガイドレール122は左右方向に延びている。以下、ガイドレール122の長手方向を主走査方向Yと称することとする。
本実施形態に係るインクジェットプリンタ100は、以上のように構成されている。次に、記録紙200に対する印刷について説明する。インクジェットプリンタ100は、プロセスカラーのインクのみを用いる印刷、プロセスカラー及びホワイトのインクを用いる印刷、並びに、それらのインク及びクリアーインクを用いる印刷が可能である。本実施形態及び以下の各実施形態では、プロセスカラー及びホワイトのインク(すなわち第1のインク)とクリアーインク(すなわち第2のインク)とを用いる印刷について説明する。
上記第1実施形態における第2の紫外線ランプ1に代えて、図4に示すように、主走査方向Yに細長い紫外線ランプユニット2を用いてもよい。この紫外線ランプユニット2は、略箱型のユニット本体2aと、複数の紫外線ランプが主走査方向Yに所定間隔ごとに並べられてなる発光部2bとを備えている。紫外線ランプユニット2は、インクヘッド102及び第1の紫外線ランプ106よりも前方に配置されている。紫外線ランプユニット2の後端縁と、第1の紫外線ランプ106の前端縁との間には、間隔G2が設けられている。その他の構成は、上記第1実施形態と同様である。
上記第1実施形態のように光照射手段として2個の紫外線ランプを使用する場合に、第2の紫外線ランプを次のように配置してもよい。すなわち、図6に示すように、第2の紫外線ランプ3-2を第1の紫外線ランプ106の前方に配置してもよい。この実施形態では、第2の紫外線ランプ3-2は、第1の紫外線ランプ106に対して、前後方向に幅G3の間隔3-1を空けて配置されている。この間隔3-1の幅G3は、各紫外線ランプ106、3-2からの漏れ光が相互に悪影響を及ぼさないように設定されている。これにより、紫外線ランプ3-2から照射される紫外線の漏れ光が、インクヘッド102側へ回り込むという事態を適切に防止できる。なお、間隔3-1を設けることに代えて、あるいは間隔3-1を設けつつ、紫外線ランプ106、3-2間に遮蔽部材を設けるようにしてもよい。その他の構成は、上記第1実施形態と同様である。
2つの紫外線ランプを次のように配置することもできる。すなわち、図8に示すように、第1の紫外線ランプ104を、インクヘッド102の左側方に間隔幅Gを有して配置する。第2の紫外線ランプ4を、その発光部4bの後端縁が第1の紫外線ランプ104の発光部104bの前端縁を通る左右方向の軸線上に配置されるように、インクヘッド102の右斜め前方に配置する。インクヘッド102と第2の紫外線ランプ4との左右方向の間隔は、幅Gとする。その他の構成は、上記第1実施形態と同様である。
上記第2実施形態では、第1の紫外線ランプ106をインクヘッド102の右側方に配置したが、図10に示すように、第1の紫外線ランプ104をインクヘッド102の左側方に配置してもよい。紫外線ランプユニット5の後端縁と、第1の紫外線ランプ104の前端縁との間には、間隔G5が設けられている。その他の構成は、上記第2実施形態と同様である。
上記第3実施形態では、第1及び第2の紫外線ランプ104、3-2をインクヘッド102の右側方に配置したが、図12に示すように、第1及び第2の紫外線ランプ104、6-2をインクヘッド102の左側方に配置するようにしてもよい。第2の紫外線ランプ6-2は、第1の紫外線ランプ104の前方に配置されている。第2の紫外線ランプ6-2と第1の紫外線ランプ104との前後方向の間隔6-1は、幅G6に設定されている。その他の構成は、上記第3実施形態と同様である。
なお、上記各実施形態では、クリアーインクに対する紫外線等の光の照射開始時期について詳述したが、本発明は決してこれに限定されるものではない。その他のインクについても、光の照射開始時期は適宜に変更することが可能である。インクヘッド102が吐出するインクは、上述のインクに限らず、他のインクであってもよい。例えば、インクヘッド102は金色や銀色等のインクを吐出してもよい。
