Ink jet printing equipment and procedures to reduce discrepancies in the density of a printed image caused by the discrepancy in the ink application position

摘要

In a multi-scan method for printing a printing area by n (4) scans of a head and printing individual scan lines with n different ejection ports, a paper feed amount of transporting performed between the individual n scans is set to a value less than an amount of ((a length of total ejection port)/(n - 1)ü, and thereby close ejection ports in the ejection port arrangement in the head can be used as the n ejection ports for the individual lines, and an application position deviation between the ejection ports for individual lines due to a head mount error or the like can be reduced. As a result, unevenness of density due to deviation of dots in a scanning direction can be suppressed. IMAGE
