RECORDING DEVICE AND RECORDING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109286 titled 'RECORDING DEVICE AND RECORDING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The recording device described in the patent application performs tp recording control to record a group of test patterns, including a first patch and a second patch with different positions in the transport direction. The amount of liquid ejected for the boundary area between the first patch and the second patch is different for each test pattern. The device records a first tp group and a second tp group at different positions in the transport direction onto a medium, transporting the medium by a first distance based on the nozzle array length between the recording of the first patch and the second patch of the tp. It then transports the medium by a second distance, which is a difference between an integer multiple of the circumference length and two times the first distance.

  • The recording device includes a transport roller with a different circumference length from the nozzle array length in the transport direction.
  • Test patterns are arranged in the main scanning direction with different liquid ejection amounts for the boundary area between the first and second patches.
  • The device records test patterns at different positions on the medium and transports it by specific distances based on the nozzle array length.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the printing industry for high-quality and precise printing of test patterns with varying liquid ejection amounts.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately recording test patterns with different liquid ejection amounts at specific positions on a medium.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved printing quality, precise control of liquid ejection amounts, and enhanced accuracy in recording test patterns.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of advanced printing systems for industries requiring high-quality printing with precise control over liquid ejection amounts.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of transport rollers with different circumference lengths in printing devices to control the positioning of test patterns on a medium.

Original Abstract Submitted

a recording device, including a transport roller whose circumference length is different from nozzle array length in a transport direction, performs tp recording control to record a group of test patterns, in which a plurality of test patterns including a first patch and a second patch with different positions in the transport direction are arranged in a main scanning direction, and in which an amount of liquid ejected for a boundary area between the first patch and the second patch is different for each test pattern, wherein, in the tp recording control, records a first tp group and a second tp group at different positions in the transport direction onto a medium, transports the medium by a first distance based on the nozzle array length as a transport between the recording of the first patch and the second patch of the tp, and, as a transport between the recording of the second patch of the first tp group and the recording of the first patch of the second tp group, transports the medium by a second distance, which is a difference between an integer multiple of the circumference length and two times the first distance.
