| 20080198212 | INK-JET RECORDING APPARATUS, METHOD OF REMOVING AIR OF INK-JET RECORDING APPARATUS AND REMOVING AIR DEVICE - An air removing device is connected to a tank to contain ink through a first supply tube, and an ink-jet head is connected to the air removing device through a second supply tube. The first supply tube and ink-jet head are heated and controlled. Air dissolved in ink is sucked out through a hollow fiber membrane provided in a housing by operating a vacuum pump by supplying ink to the hollow fiber membrane while heating and controlling atmosphere in the housing. Thus, air dissolved in ink is removed, and ink heated to a temperature suitable for ejection is supplied to the ink-jet head. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20100171782 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus includes at least one ink jet head having a plurality of ejection ports arranged herein to eject droplets to a recording medium, a conveyance section including a conveyance surface for conveying the recording medium and to convey the recording medium in a direction different from an arrangement direction of the respective ejection ports, a suction force generation section to generate a suction force to adsorb the recording medium onto the conveyance surface, a thickness detection section to detect a thickness of the recording medium, and a control section to suppress cockling generated in the recording medium according to the thickness of the recording medium. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100171784 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus includes a recording head and a first conveyance unit. An applying unit applies the recording medium on the first conveyance unit with treatment liquid. One end of a second conveyance unit is connected on an upstream side from the applying unit disposed on the first conveyance unit and the other end is connected on a downstream side from the applying unit disposed on the first conveyance unit and on the upstream side from the recording head in the conveyance direction, the second conveyance unit conveying the recording medium. A conveyance switching unit is disposed on the one end of the second conveyance unit and switches conveyance of the recording medium to the applying unit side of the first conveyance unit or to the second conveyance unit side according to a content of recording data. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100171787 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus includes a carrying unit that carries a recording medium in a carrying direction, and a recording head that ejects ink to the recording medium carried by the carrying unit to perform recording. An application unit is provided on an upstream side of a carrying direction from the recording head in the carrying unit and supplies a treatment liquid to predetermined division application ranges which are divided in a direction perpendicular to the carrying direction of the recording medium depending on a size of the recording medium. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100171804 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus includes a conveyance unit which includes a conveyance belt and an air suction unit for sucking air through the conveyance belt to adsorb a recording medium onto the conveyance belt. A recording head ejects ink to carry out recording on the recording medium conveyed by the conveyance unit. An adsorption force adjusting unit adjusts the adsorption force for the recording medium on the conveyance belt, which occurs by sucking air, according to the size of the recording medium. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110043562 | INKJET RECORDING APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, an inkjet recording apparatus includes a sensor, a first controller and a second controller. The sensor is provided upstream of an inkjet head in a paper transport direction and detects a state of an image forming surface of a paper. The first controller determines whether the image forming surface subjected to the state detected by the sensor is printed with a coloring material other than inkjet inks. The second controller controls to discharge the paper without image formation on the image forming surface with the inkjet head if the image forming surface is printed with the coloring material other than the inkjet inks. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110050763 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a detecting unit, a determining unit, and a correcting unit. The detecting unit detects an overlapping portion of a first image printed on a first side of a sheet and a second image printed on a second side opposite to the first side. The determining unit determines whether the detected overlapping portion of the first image and the second image is equal to or larger than a predetermined area. The correcting unit corrects, if the overlapping portion is equal to or larger than the predetermined area, the density of one of the first image and the second image. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110050778 | INK JET RECORDING APPARATUS AND SHEET FEEDING METHOD OF INK JET RECORDING APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, an ink jet recording apparatus includes a first ink jet head, a second ink jet head, a main feeding passage, a first roundabout feeding passage, and a controller. The first ink jet head forms an image on a medium. The second ink jet head forms an image on the medium. The main feeding passage feeds the medium so that the first ink jet head and the second ink jet head form an image on the medium. The first roundabout feeding passage feeds the medium without allowing the medium to face the first ink jet head. The controller controls so as to feed the medium through the first roundabout feeding passage if the first ink jet head is unusable. | 03-03-2011 |
