摘要： An image processing method determines a number of smoothing times Stime so that the number of times, at which the corrected tone values will be modified, increases as the amount of modification, by which the corrected tone values are required to be modified, increases; and modifies the corrected tone values by dividing the modification amount by the number of smoothing times Stime so that the actual printing characteristics R[i] predicted to be actually obtained approach the ideal characteristics T[i] in steps of the smoothing times Stime. Therefore, the image processing method can prevent an abrupt change in the characteristics of printed color density levels before and after the corrected tone values are modified, even when the modification amount of the corrected tone values is large.

摘要： An image-processing system for printing an image based on original image data. The storing unit stores at least one look-up table in association with at least one printing condition. The at least one look-up table is used to convert a color value in original image data into a limited color value that limits a total quantity of ink to be used in printing. The detecting unit detects, as a printing condition, at least one of a type of color material and a type of recording medium which are used for printing operation. The converting unit converts the color value data into the limited color value by using a look-up table that is assigned with a printing condition corresponding to the detected printing condition.

摘要： A print method and apparatus for minimizing effects of error in repositioning during printing process may include generating successive scans of a recording head, wherein the scans may partially overlap to account for the error in repositioning. As an example, after the recording head makes one scan across the document being printed, the document (or the head) may be repositioned for the next scan so that several print elements of the recording head are aligned to lie between certain rows of dots printed in the previous scan, resulting in a higher number of rows in the overlapping portion of the scans. Additional features may include varying the row/column arrangement of dots in the overlap portion, or performing error diffusion and correction for different areas of resolution in the scans.

摘要： When the input value becomes close to the medium dot relative density value (Den_M), the large dot threshold value (Thre_L) and medium dot threshold value (Thre_M) become close to each other. It is possible to prevent output values from being converged to the particular medium-dot output value. When the input value becomes close to the small dot relative density value (Den_S), the medium dot threshold value (Thre_M) and the small dot relative density value (Den_S) become close to each other. It is possible to prevent output values from being converged to the particular small-dot output value.

摘要： An inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head having a nozzle row aligned with a plurality of nozzles and a carrying mechanism capable of carrying a record medium by a multiple of an arbitrary natural number of a unit carry amount in a direction in parallel with the nozzle row. The record medium is carried by any of quasi logical carry amounts including a natural number larger than a logical carry amount determined based on a recording resolution and a number of nozzles and represented as a multiple of the unit carry amount and a natural number smaller than the logical carry amount. The record medium is recorded at each time of carrying the record medium. A carry amount of the record medium is determined such that a difference between the logical carry amount and an actual carry amount of the record medium does not exceed a predetermined value.

摘要： An image forming device includes a feeding unit, a recording unit, and a controller. The feeding unit includes a first feeding member and a second feeding member disposed at a downstream of the first feeding member in a feeding direction. At least one of the first feeding member and the second feeding member feeds a recording medium in the feeding direction. The recording unit is disposed between the first feeding member and the second feeding member to eject a plurality of ink droplets onto the recording medium fed between the first feeding member and the second feeding member. A plurality of ink droplets ejected onto the recording medium forms a plurality of raster lines extending in a main-scanning direction orthogonal to the feeding direction. The controller controls the recording unit to eject a plurality of ink droplets so that a plurality of first raster lines formed within a first time span has a first resolution in the feeding direction, a plurality of second raster lines formed within a second time span has a second resolution in the feeding direction, and a plurality of third raster lines formed within a third time span including a banding timing at which a trailing edge of the recording medium gets away from the first feeding member has a third resolution higher than the first resolution in the feeding direction. The second time span follows the first time span and the third time span follows the second time span. The second resolution is higher than the first resolution and lower than the third resolution.
