20150015637 | INKJET PRINTING APPARATUS AND CHECK PATTERN PRINTING METHOD - A check pattern is printed which makes it possible to detect, with high precision, individual patterns corresponding to nozzles of a print head of an inkjet printing apparatus. More specifically, after an alignment mark is printed, ejection of an ink from the nozzles is stopped for a certain time. Because of this stoppage time, the concentration of a coloring material of the ink ejected from the nozzles increases, whereby the optical density of an analysis pattern which is printed later can be increased. In this manner, a scanner can read, with high precision, the patterns corresponding to the nozzles. | 2015-01-15 |
20150015638 | CERAMIC INKJET INKS - The current document discloses an inkjet ink that is characterized by exceptionally low sedimentation rate of glass frit and pigment particles. Practically, the ink reversibly gels upon extended standing, thus preventing sedimentation entirely. | 2015-01-15 |
20150015639 | INKJET INK SET AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - An inkjet ink set including: an ink composition including water, a colorant, polymer particles having a glass transition temperature of 90° C. or higher, an organic amine and an inorganic salt; and a treatment liquid that includes an acidic compound and generates aggregation when comes into contact with the ink composition. The inkjet ink set and an image forming method using the same provide preservation stability and secured excellent jetting ability of the ink composition, and an image having image quality with suppressed formation of satellite droplets. | 2015-01-15 |
20150015640 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF - A printing apparatus comprising, a printhead including an element array in which a plurality of printing elements are arrayed, scanning unit configured to reciprocally scan the printhead, driving unit configured to time-divisionally drive the printing elements, conveyance unit configured to convey a printing medium, and setting unit configured to set a driving order, wherein the conveyance unit performs a first conveyance operation of conveying the printing medium by a conveyance amount which is an integer multiple of a width of the group of the time-divisional driving, and a second conveyance operation of conveying the printing medium by a conveyance amount which is not an integer multiple of the width of the group, and the setting unit sets the driving order in the time-divisional driving for each scan based on the conveyance amount by the conveyance unit. | 2015-01-15 |
