PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18311814 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a printing apparatus that aims to prevent degradation of image quality.

  • The printing apparatus includes a print head, a detection unit, and a tone correction unit.
  • The detection unit is responsible for identifying the edge region and non-edge region of an object in the image data.
  • The tone correction unit adjusts the amount of printing agent applied to a unit region based on whether it is an edge region or a non-edge region.
  • The printing apparatus offers two printing modes: the first mode with a lower input resolution than the print head's printing resolution, and the second mode with an input resolution equal to or higher than the print head's printing resolution.


Original Abstract Submitted

An object of the present disclosure is to avoid degradation of image quality. An embodiment of the present invention is a printing apparatus including: a print head; a detection unit configured to detect an edge region and a non-edge region of an object in image data; and a tone correction unit configured to adjust an application amount of a printing agent for a unit region based on whether the unit region is the edge region or the non-edge region, in which the printing apparatus is capable of performing printing in a first printing mode or a second printing mode, in the first printing mode, an input resolution of the image data is lower than a printing resolution of the print head, in the second printing mode, the input resolution of the image data is higher than or equal to the printing resolution of the print head.
