RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18415888 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a recording apparatus that can record images at different resolutions by using multiple-liquids recording passes and single-liquid recording passes.

  • The recording apparatus includes a head with first and second nozzles, a carriage, a relative-movement device, a first reservoir, a second reservoir, and a controller.
  • The controller controls the discharge of liquids from the first and second nozzles during multiple-liquids recording passes and single-liquid recording passes.
  • During multiple-liquids recording passes, liquids of different types are discharged from the first and second nozzles while the head and recording medium move relative to each other.
  • During single-liquid recording passes, a liquid of the same type is discharged from the first and second nozzles while the head and recording medium move relative to each other.
  • The resolution of images recorded during single-liquid recording passes is higher than those recorded during multiple-liquids recording passes in the relative-movement direction.

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in printing, photography, and other imaging applications where varying resolutions are required for different types of images.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for recording devices to capture images at different resolutions efficiently and effectively.

Benefits: The benefits of this technology include the ability to produce high-resolution images while maintaining efficiency in the recording process.

Commercial Applications: This technology could be applied in industries such as printing, graphic design, and photography to enhance image quality and productivity.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the controller determine the type of liquid to discharge during each recording pass? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in recording devices?


Original Abstract Submitted

A recording apparatus, having a head including first nozzles and second nozzles, a carriage, a relative-movement device, a first reservoir, a second reservoir, and a controller, is provided. The controller repeats one of a set of a multiple-liquids recording pass, where liquids in different types are discharged from the first nozzles and the second nozzles, and a first relative-movement action, where the head and a recording medium are moved relatively in a relative-movement direction, and a set of a single-liquid recording pass, where a liquid in a same type is discharged from the first nozzles and the second nozzles, and a second relative-movement action, where the head and the recording medium are moved relatively in the relative-movement direction. A resolution of an image recorded in the single-liquid recording pass is higher than a resolution of an image recorded in the multiple-liquids recording pass in the relative-movement direction.
