20150116391 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO SHARE DISPLAY ATTRIBUTES OF CONTENT - A method, device, and system for sharing at least one display attribute associated with content displayed on the device with a target device is provided. The method includes identifying the at least one display attribute associated with content displayed in a source device, processing the identified at least one display attribute in accordance with an interoperability display ratio, and displaying the content on the target device after applying the processed at least one display attribute to the content. When content is shared between two devices, exchange of display attributes associated with the content helps in ensuring that the user experience of the content is similar at both the source device end and target device. | 2015-04-30 |
20150116392 | Ink-Jet Recording Apparatus, Ink-Jet Recording Method, Recorded Matter and Composite Black - An ink-jet recording apparatus performing recording on a recording medium includes: a water-based yellow ink containing a yellow dye, a water-based magenta ink containing a magenta dye and a water-based cyan ink containing a cyan dye of which hue angles ∠H° defined in a CIELAB color space are within the predetermined ranges; an ink-jet head configured to discharge the water-based yellow, magenta and cyan inks; and a controller configured to control the ink-jet head so as to satisfy the following conditions (A) and (B) to thereby form a composite black on the recording medium: (A) 0.66≦C/(Y+M) and (B) 530≦Y+M+C≦600, wherein in the conditions (A) and (B): Y, M and C are drop amounts (ng) of the yellow dye, the magenta dye and the cyan dye dropped in a 25.4 mm×25.4 mm area of the recording medium, respectively. | 2015-04-30 |
20150116393 | INK JET PRINTING CONTOL METHOD UTILIZING AND PROCESS LIQUID - The present invention provides an ink jet printing apparatus and an ink jet printing method in which if an image is printed using ink and a process liquid serving to improve the printability of the ink, degradation of print image quality can be suppressed which results from a rise in the temperature of a print head. To achieve this, the present invention reduces the amount of process liquid ejected from a process liquid ejection section capable of ejecting a process liquid, with increasing temperature of an ink ejection section capable of ejecting ink. | 2015-04-30 |
20150116394 | DROPLET DISCHARGE DEVICE AND DROPLET DISCHARGE METHOD - A printer includes a control section that is capable of executing a first process for forming an image on a sheet by discharging ink droplets from a liquid ejection head on the basis of image data and a second process for forming, on the sheet, a test pattern for determination of a shift in ink droplet adhesion position by discharging droplets on the basis of test data. The control section executes the second process in a state in which a print gap between the liquid ejection head and a support is longer than the shortest adjustable print gap. | 2015-04-30 |
