The configuration example of==ink-jet printer==
Ink-jet printer (hereinafter referred to as printer 1) as an example of liquid ejection apparatus, the unit image of use will be cut off later on, for example paste to pay the printing thing of the film shape on the preservative film of fresh food, print on the banded type belt T as an example of medium by ink-jetting style.At this, type belt T is the roll web (continuous paper) that has peeling paper, can print as the portrait of printing thing continuously on the continuous direction of this type belt T.
The formation of＜printer 1 〉
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of all formations of printer 1.Fig. 2 A is the simple cutaway view of printer 1, and Fig. 2 B is the simple vertical view of printer 1.Fig. 3 represents the following nozzle arrangement of head unit 40.
When printer 1 receives print data, control each unit (conveyance unit 20, driver element 30, head unit 40) by controller 10 as an example of control part, on type belt T, form image.In addition, come situation in the monitor printer 1 by detector set 50, controller 10 is controlled each unit based on its testing result.
On main scanning direction, move and the ejection ink by head unit 40, on stamp pad T, form point (dot) row (scan line).Since this point range gather the formation image, therefore come print image by forming point range.Head unit 40 has 10 statures, 41,10 statures 41 and goes up with the meander-like alignment arrangements at width (sub scanning direction).And, to move once to main scanning direction, just can cross over the mode of all zone ejections of the width ink of type belt T by head unit 40, that is,, dispose 10 statures in the width of the sub scanning direction of head unit 40 mode greater than the width of type belt T.
In addition, be formed with below 41 at each: the nozzle rows C of the nozzle rows M of the nozzle rows Y of ejection yellow ink, ejection magenta ink, ejection blue-green ink, the nozzle rows K of ejection black ink.In each nozzle rows, the interval (360dpi) with regulation on width is arranged with 360 nozzles.And, two adjacent on width statures are (at this, with 41 (1) and 41 (2) is that example describes) in 41 (1) two nozzle # 359, #360 of forward side of inboard, be positioned at (that is, nozzle is overlapping) on the same line with 41 (2) the most inboard nozzle # 1, #2 of forward side.In addition, in the present embodiment, sub scanning direction is equivalent to first direction, and main scanning direction is equivalent to second direction.
The mobile status of the head unit 40 during＜printing 〉
Fig. 4 A～Fig. 4 I is the schematic diagram that is used to illustrate the mobile status of the head unit 40 when printing.Printer 1 moves four times on main scanning direction by head unit 40, and forms each point range (scan line).In addition, when printing, type belt T becomes the state that is not maintained at by conveyance on the absorptive table 23.
Like this, head unit 40 alternately is used to form the moving of the sub scanning direction that moves (Fig. 4 B, Fig. 4 D, Fig. 4 F, Fig. 4 H) and head unit 40 (Fig. 4 C, Fig. 4 E, Fig. 4 G) of the main scanning direction of head unit 40 a little.Thus, form a plurality of point ranges (scanline groups) in all zones of the width of type belt T.And, head unit 40 be through with the 4th time main scanning direction move (stroke 4, Fig. 4 H) afterwards, side shifting (Fig. 4 I) inwards on sub scanning direction, thus be positioned at the original position shown in Fig. 4 A.Thus, a succession of of head unit 40 who is through with when printing moves.
The density unevenness that==because of the difference of each ejection characteristic of 41 causes==
It is known because 41 individual difference can make the ejection characteristic difference of ink.For example, the nozzle from certain stature 41 is easy to spray ink sometimes, relatively is difficult to spray ink from other 41 nozzle therewith.Therefore, under the situation that the head unit 40 of 10 statures 41 by having individual difference prints, can produce the so-called density unevenness that the difference because of each ejection characteristic of 41 causes.
At this, in 10 statures 41, with 41 (3), 41 (4), 41 (5) be that example describes.Suppose that 41 (3) have and are difficult to spray the ink characteristic of (spray volume of ink is less than suitable amount), 41 (4) have the characteristic that normally sprays ink (spray volume of ink is suitable), and 41 (5) have the characteristic that is easy to spray ink (spray volume of ink is more than suitable amount).Therefore, suppose when needs form the suitable point (hereinafter referred to as mid point) of spray volume, 41 (3) form the point (hereinafter referred to as point) that spray volumes are less than appropriate amount, and 41 (4) form mid points, and 41 (5) form the point (hereinafter referred to as a little bigger) of spray volumes more than appropriate amount.In addition, establish in 10 statures 41 other most of 41 same with 41 (4), form mid point.
Fig. 5 A is the figure that is used to illustrate because of the different density unevenness that cause of each ejection characteristic of 41 with Fig. 5 B.Point range shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B is the point range that two strokes form, and Fig. 5 A is the point range behind the expression stroke 1, and Fig. 5 B is the point range behind the expression stroke 2.
In first point range in five point ranges, stroke 1 and stroke 2 form by 41 (3).Therefore, in first point range, only arranging point.In second point range, stroke 1 forms by 41 (3), and stroke 2 forms by 41 (4).Therefore, in second point range, alternately arranging point and mid point.In row thirdly, stroke 1 and stroke 2 form by 41 (4), thereby are only arranging mid point.In the 4th point range, stroke 1 forms by 41 (4), and stroke 2 forms by 41 (5), thereby is alternately arranging mid point and a little bigger.In the 5th point range, stroke 1 and stroke 2 form by 41 (5), thereby are only arranging a little bigger.
In this case, first point range is only formed by point, therefore compares with the point range that is formed by mid point (point that spray volume is suitable) to seem lighter.That is, can be identified as density unevenness.Equally, the 5th point range is only formed by a little bigger, therefore compares with the point range that is formed by mid point to seem denseer.That is, can be identified as density unevenness.And when the quantity of first point range and the 5th point range increased, density unevenness became significantly, causes image quality further to reduce.
On the other hand, because the 3rd row point range is only formed by mid point, be suitable concentration therefore.In addition, in the second and the 4th point range, because mid point accounts for half, even therefore contain point or a little bigger, concentration also can be neutralized as a whole, thereby is difficult to identify density unevenness.
Like this, form in the formation of point ranges, when point range only, can be produced density unevenness and become significant problem when forming by a stature 41 (above-mentioned 41 (3), 41 (5)) different a plurality of 41 of the ejection characteristic of using ink.
Total subscan amount of the head unit during==print, with the relation of the width of head unit==
In the printer 1 that present embodiment relates to, when mobile (the stroke 1～stroke 4) of four main scanning directions, become the formation of all zone ejection inks of the width of crossing over type belt T.This be because, because the resolution ratio (for example the resolution ratio of sub scanning direction is 720dpi) of image is finer and closely woven apart from ((360dpi)) than nozzle, head unit 40 is moved on sub scanning direction with the unit of 720dpi, can form than the point range of nozzle apart from finer and closely woven interval.
On the other hand, between four strokes of stroke 1～stroke 4, head unit 40 moves three times (Fig. 4 C, Fig. 4 E, Fig. 4 G) on sub scanning direction.And, for all zone ejection inks of the width of in stroke 1～stroke 4, crossing over type belt T, according to the size of these three times mobile total amount of movements (below, be called total subscan amount), the width difference of the sub scanning direction of head unit 40.For this point, describe with Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B.
Fig. 6 A has represented to increase the width of the head unit 40 under the situation of total subscan amount.Fig. 6 B has represented to reduce the width of the head unit 40 under the situation of total subscan amount.In addition, the head unit 40 in the left side of representing by the dotted line of Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B, be in and be about to begin the state that moves (stroke 1) of main scanning direction for the first time, the head unit 40 on the right side of representing with solid line is in the state that moves (stroke 4) that is about to begin the 4th main scanning direction.Therefore, the side-play amount of the sub scanning direction of the head unit 40 of dotted line and the head unit 40 of solid line becomes total subscan amount of head unit 40.
By Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B as can be known, total subscan amount is big more, and then for all zone ejection inks of the width of crossing over type belt T, the width of the sub scanning direction of head unit 40 is also big more.That is, 41 the quantity that constitutes head unit 40 increases.And, when increasing the width of head unit 40,, there is the possibility that causes printer 1 to maximize in order to ensure the space that is provided with of head unit 40.
The print processing that==present embodiment relates to==
In order to suppress above-mentioned problem, to be that density unevenness becomes significantly and the width of the sub scanning direction of the width of head unit 40 increases, printer 1 is carried out following illustrated print processing.
This print processing is characterised in that, total amount of movement of the sub scanning direction of (1) head unit 40 when printing, and the mode less than effective nozzle width (aftermentioned) of the sub scanning direction of a stature 41 makes driver element 30 slip-on head unit 40; (2) quantity of the scan line (point range) that forms according to the nozzle ejection ink that only makes a stature 41 in the scanline groups (a plurality of point range), mode below the quantity of the scan line that forms for the nozzle ejection ink that makes plural 41 forms scanline groups.
The exercises of the printer 1 when carrying out print processing mainly realize by controller 10.Particularly in the present embodiment, handling the program that is stored in memory 13 by CPU12 realizes.And this program is made of the coding that is used to carry out following illustrated exercises.
Fig. 7 is the flow chart that is used to illustrate this print processing.Flow chart shown in Figure 7 is a slave controller 10 by interface 11 from computer 90 (Fig. 1) when having received print data.
In this print processing, at first, controller 10 is transported to print area (step S2) by conveyance unit 20 with type belt T.That is the type belt T before, transfer roller 21 will be printed is transported to the absorptive table 23 as print area.
Then, controller 10 makes head unit 40 move (Fig. 4 B) along main scanning direction under the driving of driver element 30, simultaneously from nozzle ejection ink (step S4).That is, controller 10 is being held in the point range that forms stroke 1 on the type belt T of absorptive table 23.Because image (printing thing) is formed by four strokes, so when forming the point range of stroke 1, controller 10 makes head unit 40 move the subscan amount (Fig. 4 C) (step S6: deny step S8) of regulation at the driving lower edge of control module 30 sub scanning direction.
Then, till forming a processing and finish to point, controller 10 is alternately followed the moving of sub scanning direction (Fig. 4 E, Fig. 4 G) (the step S4～S8) of the formation (Fig. 4 D, Fig. 4 F, Fig. 4 H) of the point range that moves of main scanning direction of head unit 40 and head unit 40.In addition, in the present embodiment, carried out so-called overstriking.
At this, the overstriking that relates to for present embodiment describes.Overstriking is meant, is formed the printing type of a point range (scan line) by plural nozzle.Particularly, a nozzle intermittently forms point range at main scanning direction every several ground.Then, by another nozzle the interrupted point range that has formed is replenished and form point range.
Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are the figure of the overstriking that is used to illustrate that present embodiment relates to.Wherein, simple for what illustrate, only represent the nozzle rows C in each four nozzle rows (nozzle rows Y, nozzle rows M, nozzle rows C, nozzle rows K) of 41, and each nozzle quantity of 41 is reduced to 16.Therefore, the position of the nozzle rows C of head (41 (1) with 41 (2) etc.) that in Fig. 8, has represented the sub scanning direction inboard in 10 statures 41 in stroke 1～stroke 4 and the state of the formation of point, in Fig. 9, sub scanning direction nearby position in stroke 1～stroke 4 of the nozzle rows C of the head of side (41 (10) with 41 (9) etc.), and the formation state of point have been represented.In addition, in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, point with the nozzle formation of white circle (zero) expression 41 (1) and 41 (7), point with the nozzle formation of black circle (●) expression 41 (2) and 41 (8), the point that forms with the nozzle of white triangle (△) expression 41 (3) and 41 (9) is with the point of the nozzle formation of black triangle (▲) expression 41 (4) and 41 (10).
In stroke 1～stroke 4, each nozzle by nozzle rows C forms a little on the pixel of print area.At this, " pixel " is meant the position that forms point in order to limit, and the square of imagination on the grid of setting on the type belt T.And in order to determine that pixel describes, the pixel that will arrange on main scanning direction uses " row " to represent with " OK " expression, the pixel that will arrange on sub scanning direction.In addition, Fig. 8 and pixel shown in Figure 9 be at main scanning direction and sub scanning direction, all being spaced with 720dpi.
At first, in stroke 1, from each 41 nozzle ejection ink.Then, in odd-numbered line shown in Figure 8 (1,3,5... capable), the pixel of odd column (1,3,5... row) is formed point range.For example, from the beginning 41 (1) nozzle # 1 ejection ink forms a little on the pixel of first odd column of going.Similarly, 41 (1) nozzle # 2 ejection ink from the beginning forms a little on the pixel of the odd column of the third line.Like this, each nozzle forms point along the pixel in main scanning direction interval on each row corresponding with position separately.
In addition, the method for the ink ejection of the overlapping nozzles of adjacent two statures on the width (, being that example describes) with 41 (1) and 41 (2) at this, with the method for the ink ejection of nonoverlapping nozzle (for example, 41 (1) nozzle #1) be different.That is, in stroke 1,41 (1) nozzle # 15 and nozzle # 16 of width inboard form point range 3,7, on the pixel of 11... row, and nearby 41 (2) of side nozzle # 1 and nozzle # 2, form point range 1,5, on the pixel of 9... row.Like this, the nozzle of two adjacent statures 41 alternately sprays ink, forms point range on the pixel of odd column.
After stroke 1 finishes, the moving of the primary sub scanning direction when printing, head unit 40 is from the interior side direction of the sub scanning direction subscan amount F (particularly being 7/720dpi) of side shifting regulation nearby.
In the stroke 2 after head unit 40 moves, in even number line (8,10,12... capable), the pixel of antithesis ordered series of numbers (2,4,6... row) forms point range.For example, from the beginning 41 (1) nozzle # 1 ejection ink forms a little on the pixel of the 8th even column of going.Similarly, from the beginning 41 (1) nozzle # 2 ejection ink forms a little on the pixel of the tenth even column of going.In addition, in the 2nd stroke, 41 (1) nozzle # 15 and nozzle # 16 of the inboard of the width in the adjacent head form point range 4,8, on the pixel of 12... row, and nearby 41 (2) of side nozzle # 1 and nozzle # 2 form point range 2,6, on the pixel of 10... row.That is, same with the 1st stroke, the nozzle of two adjacent statures 41 alternately sprays ink, forms point (for the 3rd following stroke and the 4th stroke too) on the pixel of even column.
After stroke 2 finishes, the moving of the secondary sub scanning direction when printing, head unit 40 moves the subscan amount F (7/720dpi) of regulation.
Similarly, in the stroke 3, in odd-numbered line (15,17,19... capable), the pixel of antithesis ordered series of numbers (2,4,6... row) forms point range.This result has finished for example point range of the 23rd row by stroke 1 and stroke 3.
After stroke 3 finishes, the moving of the sub scanning direction for the third time when printing, head unit 40 moves the subscan amount F (7/720dpi) with the first time and the identical size of secondary subscan amount.Like this, three each mobile amount of movement F of the sub scanning direction of head unit 40 are identical size.And, become the total (total subscan amount 3F) of three subscan amounts of head unit 40, less than the relation of effective nozzle width of a stature 41 of following explanation.
At first, describe for effective nozzle.For effective nozzle, have or not consideration method difference according to the overlapping nozzles (above-mentioned) between adjacent 41.Do not having under the situation of overlapping nozzles, each effective nozzle of 41 is whole nozzles (referring to Figure 11) of nozzle rows.On the other hand, have under the situation of overlapping nozzles, each effective nozzle of 41 will consider that overlapping nozzles decides.Particularly, effective nozzle of 41 is by nonoverlapping nozzle in this nozzle rows of 41 with utilize and nozzle that other 41 relation will this overlapping nozzles of 41 have been carried out uniform distribution constitutes.
At this, describe for how uniform distribution overlapping nozzles.For example, in Fig. 8,41 (1) nozzle # 15, nozzle # 16 is overlapping with 41 (2) nozzle # 1, nozzle #2.At this moment, distribute overlapping nozzles as follows equably, that is, the nozzle # 15 among said nozzle # 15 and the nozzle # 16 is included in 41 (1) the effective nozzle, and the nozzle # 2 among said nozzle # 1 and the nozzle # 2 is included in 41 (2) the effective nozzle.Like this, according to making half nozzle in 41 the overlapping nozzles be included in mode in effective nozzle, distribute in 41 at this.
10 statures 41 of present embodiment have overlapping nozzles respectively, and each effective nozzle of 41 is as described below.Effective nozzle of 41 (1) is nozzle # 1～nozzle # 14; With with the overlapping nozzle # 15 of 41 (2) nozzle # 1, nozzle # 2, nozzle # 15 totally ten five nozzles among the nozzle #16.On the other hand, effective nozzle of 41 (2) is and 41 (1) overlapping nozzle # 1, the nozzle # 2 among the nozzle # 2 of nozzle # 15, nozzle # 16; Nozzle # 3～nozzle # 14; With with the overlapping nozzle # 15 of nozzle # 1, the nozzle # 2 of nozzle 41 (3), nozzle # 15 totally ten four nozzles among the nozzle #16.Effective nozzle of 41 (3)～41 (9) is same with 41 (2), is nozzle # 2～nozzle #15.On the other hand, effective nozzle of 41 (10) is and overlapping nozzle # 1 of 41 (9) nozzle and the nozzle # 2 among the nozzle # 2; With nozzle # 3～nozzle # 16 totally ten five nozzles.
Then, describe for the effective nozzle width that determines according to above-mentioned effective nozzle.Effectively nozzle width is the width of the effective nozzle (this effective nozzle is in sub scanning direction, with being spaced of 2/720dpi) in sub scanning direction.In the present embodiment, because correct 41 (1) and 41 (10), effective nozzle is 15, so effective nozzle width of 41 (1) and 41 (10) is 30/720dpi.On the other hand, because 41 (2)～effective nozzle of 41 (9) is 14, so effective nozzle width of 41 (2)～41 (9) is 28/720dpi.And in printer 1, the total subscan amount 3F (21/720dpi) the during printing of head unit 40 is set to less than the little effective nozzle width (28/720dpi) in two effective nozzle widths.
Proceed the explanation of overstriking.In the stroke 4, in even number line (22,24,26... capable), the pixel of odd column (1,3,5... row) is formed point range.This result finishes for example point range of the 22nd row by stroke 2 and stroke 4.Like this, in the overstriking of present embodiment, form a point range by two different nozzles.
At this, formed by which nozzle of 41 for the point range (scan line) of print area and to be investigated.Wherein, the point range of print area is meant the point range finished as the point range of the 22nd row, is meant the point range that walks to L capable (Fig. 9) from 22 in the present embodiment.
At first, pay close attention to 22 and walk to 49 28 point ranges (scan line) of going.These point ranges by 41 (1), 41 (2) nozzle forms.When observing in detail, the 22nd walks to ten point ranges of 28 row, the 30th row, the 32nd row, the 34th row, and two different nozzles by 41 (1) form, and the 47th row, the 49th two point ranges of going are only formed by two different nozzles of 41 (2).On the other hand, the point range (16 point ranges) beyond above-mentioned in 28 point ranges, by 41 (1) and 41 (2) two side nozzle form.Like this, walk in the point ranges of 49 row 22, the quantity (12) of the point range that is formed by the nozzle of a stature 41 only is less than the quantity (16) of the point range that the nozzle by two statures 41 forms.
Then, pay close attention to 50 and walk to 77 28 point ranges of going.Wherein, the reason of paying close attention to by 28 point ranges is, the subscan amount F (7/720dpi) of head unit 40 is 1/4 times of effective nozzle width (28/720dpi), therefore the point range of print area is concatenated to form (forming in other words, the combination of the nozzle of each point range by 28 point range decisions) with 28 point ranges as one-period.That is, with 50 walk to 77 the row 28 point ranges same, 28 point ranges afterwards (for example, 78 walk to 105 the row point ranges) also with 22 walk to 49 the row 28 point ranges be identically formed.
And 50 walk to the point ranges of 77 row, by 41 (1), 41 (2), 41 (3) nozzle forms.When observing in detail, 51 row, 53 walk to eight point ranges of 56 row, 58 row, 60 row, 62 row, and two the different nozzles by 41 (2) form, 75 row, 77 two point ranges of going, and two the different nozzles by 41 (3) form.On the other hand, the point range (18 point ranges) beyond above-mentioned in 28 point ranges, the nozzle of any two statures by 41 (1), in 41 (2), 41 (3) forms.
Like this, even walk to 77 point ranges of going (promptly 50, under the situation of the combined cycle repetition of using nozzle, 28 point ranges corresponding) in one-period, the quantity (ten) of the point range that is formed by the nozzle of a stature 41 only also is less than the quantity (18) of the point range that the nozzle by two statures 41 forms.And in this print processing, the quantity of point range in the point range that comprises in the print area, that only formed by the nozzle of a stature 41 is less than the quantity of the point range that the nozzle by two statures 41 forms.
More than, the overstriking that relates to for present embodiment is illustrated.Then turn back to flow chart shown in Figure 7, continue the explanation of this print processing.When a formation that is through with by the point range that forms stroke 4 is handled (step S6: be), in other words, when on type belt T, having printed thing (image), controller 10 makes 40 to move (Fig. 4 I) at the driving lower edge of driver element 30 sub scanning direction, is located at original position (step S10).
Then, controller 10 will form the type belt T (the type belt T that printing finishes) of point from print area output (step S12) by conveyance unit 20.That is, outlet roller 22 is exported the type belt T that printing finishes from print area.
And under the situation of the print data that should print in addition (step S14: be), controller 10 repeats above-mentioned action (step S2～S12), print on type belt.On the other hand, do not having (step S14: deny) under the situation of print data, controller 10 finishes these print processing.
The validity of＜this print processing 〉
In above-mentioned print processing, by the total subscan amount 3F (21/720dpi) of controller 10 according to the sub scanning direction of head unit 40, mode less than effective nozzle width (28/720dpi) of the sub scanning direction of a stature 41, head unit 40 is moved, thereby the width that can suppress the sub scanning direction of head unit 40 become big.
That is, as mentioned above, total subscan amount of head unit 40 is big more, the width of the sub scanning direction of head unit 40 also big more (referring to Fig. 6).Therefore, the total subscan amount by making head unit 40 can reduce total subscan amount of head unit 40 less than effective nozzle width of a stature 41, and realize overstriking (Fig. 8, Fig. 9).As a result, even cross in each stroke of overstriking under the situation of all zone ejection inks of width of type belt T, that the width that also can suppress head unit 40 becomes is big (41 quantity increase).
In addition, by the quantity of controller 10 according to scan line in the scanline groups (print area of Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 in scan line), that only form by the nozzle ejection ink of a stature 41, mode below the quantity of the scan line that forms for the nozzle ejection ink that makes plural 41, form scanline groups, thereby can suppress the deterioration of image quality.
That is, as mentioned above, only by a stature 41 (as illustrated in fig. 5,41 (3) or the spray volume that spray volume is few many 41 (5)) the quantity of scan line of nozzle formation many more, density unevenness become remarkable more (referring to Fig. 5) then.Therefore, the quantity of the scan line that forms by the nozzle that only makes by a stature 41, below the quantity for the scan line that forms by plural 41 nozzle, only can reduce the ratio (Fig. 8, Fig. 9) of scan line (becoming the scan line of density unevenness) in scanline groups that the nozzle by a stature 41 (41 or the spray volume that the spray volume in ten statures 41 is few many 41) forms.Therefore, can inhibition concentration uneven the change significantly, the result can suppress the deterioration of image quality.
In addition, by making the effective nozzle width of total subscan amount 3F, can suppress to become significant problem because of the density unevenness that adjacent 41 tie point causes less than a stature 41.That is, known: as, therefore when the positional precision of tie point is hanged down, therefore can to produce density unevenness because head unit 40 is that ten statures 41 have been carried out the unit that connects on sub scanning direction.And, forming by a plurality of strokes under the situation of images, for example, the tie point in tie point in the stroke 1 and stroke 2, when consistent, the density unevenness that is caused by tie point becomes remarkable on sub scanning direction.Relative therewith, as this print processing, by making the effective nozzle width of total subscan amount 3F less than a stature 41, as Fig. 8 and shown in Figure 9, owing to the tie point that has disperseed in stroke 1～stroke 4, thereby can the significant problem of the uneven change of inhibition concentration.
Therefore, according to above-mentioned print processing, the width that can suppress the sub scanning direction of head unit 40 becomes big, and suppresses the deterioration of image quality.
In addition, in above-mentioned print processing, controller 10 is in four strokes of stroke 1～stroke 4 (be equivalent to m time move), from whole 41 ejection inks.Thus, can enough Min. quantity 41, reduce a total subscan amount of 40 and realize overstriking.
And, in above-mentioned print processing, controller 10 (be equivalent to n time mobile) in three times of the sub scanning direction of head unit 40 are moved, (subscan amount F) is made as identical size with each amount of movement.Therefore, can form point range periodically, the occurrence positions of density unevenness is also disperseed regularly, becomes significantly thereby inhibition concentration is uneven effectively.
==the second embodiment==
Figure 10 represents the head unit 40 that second embodiment relates to.In this head unit 40, different with the head unit 40 that first embodiment shown in Figure 3 relates to, there is not the overstriking nozzle.In addition, because other the formation and first embodiment are same, therefore omit explanation.
In second embodiment, controller 10 also can (1) total amount of movement of sub scanning direction of head unit 40 when printing, the mode less than effective nozzle width of the sub scanning direction of a stature 41 moves head unit 40 under the driving of driver element 30; (2) according in the scanline groups, only make the nozzle ejection ink of a stature 41 and the quantity of the scan line that forms, the mode below the quantity of the scan line that forms for the nozzle ejection ink that makes plural 41 forms scanline groups.
Figure 11 is the figure of the overstriking that is used to illustrate that second embodiment relates to.In Figure 11, same with Fig. 8, only represented nozzle rows C, and each nozzle quantity of 41 also is 14.And, the point that forms with the nozzle of white circle (zero) expression 41 (1), the point that forms with the nozzle of black circle (●) expression 41 (2), the point that forms with the nozzle of white triangle (△) expression 41 (3) is with the point of the nozzle formation of black triangle (▲) expression 41 (4).And effective nozzle of shown in Figure 11 each 41 is respectively 14 of nozzle # 1～nozzle # 14, and each effective nozzle width of 41 is 28/720dpi, equates.
As shown in figure 11, the subscan amount F once of head unit 40 and first embodiment same (Fig. 8) are 7/720dpi, and total subscan amount 3F is 21/720dpi.And this total subscan amount 3F (21/720dpi) is less than effective nozzle width (28/720dpi).Therefore, same with first embodiment, the width that can suppress the sub scanning direction of head unit 40 becomes big.
In addition, different with Fig. 8, in Figure 11, only make the nozzle ejection ink of a stature 41 and the quantity of the scan line that forms, the quantity of the scan line that forms with making plural 41 nozzle ejection ink equates.This is owing in second embodiment, do not have overlapping nozzles.
At first, pay close attention to 22 and walk to 49 28 point ranges of going.The 22nd walks to ten point ranges of 28 row, the 30th row, the 32nd row, the 34th row, is only formed by 41 (1) nozzle, and four point ranges of 43 row, 45 row, 47 row, 49 row are formed by 41 (2) nozzle.That is, the point range that is only formed by 41 nozzle is 14.On the other hand, the point range (14 point ranges) beyond above-mentioned in 28 point ranges, by 41 (1) and 41 (2) two side nozzle form.Equally, walk in 28 point ranges of 77 row 50, the quantity of the point range that is formed by the nozzle of a stature 41 also is 14, and the quantity of the point range that is formed by the nozzle of two statures 41 is 14.
Like this, quantity by the scan line that forms according to the nozzle ejection ink that only makes a stature 41, mode below the quantity of the scan line that forms for the nozzle ejection ink that makes plural 41, form scanline groups, can be same with first embodiment, only can reduce the ratio of scan line in scanline groups by the nozzle formation of a stature 41 (41 or the spray volume that spray volume is few many 41) as Fig. 5 explanation like that.Therefore, even only suppose the scan line that the nozzle by a stature 41 forms, also can reduce the quantity of the scan line that becomes density unevenness, the result can inhibition concentration is uneven becomes significantly.
