RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18505305 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a recording apparatus that adjusts the amount of recording material used based on an index value regarding dirtiness, with the goal of decreasing the amount of recording material used.
- The recording apparatus includes a recording part for recording images onto a recording medium with recording material.
- The controller adjusts the amount of recording material used during recording based on an adjustment value.
- The controller changes the adjustment value in a direction of decreasing the amount of recording material based on an index value regarding dirtiness.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Printing industry for more efficient use of ink or toner
- Photography for optimizing the use of printing materials
Problems Solved
This technology addresses:
- Wastage of recording material
- Inefficient use of resources in recording processes
Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided a recording apparatus including: a recording part configured to perform a recording of an image onto a recording medium with a recording material; and a controller configured to adjust, based on an adjustment value, an amount of the recording material which is to be used at a time of the recording. The controller is configured to execute, based on an index value regarding dirtiness, a changing processing of changing at least one of the adjustment value and a value regarding the adjustment value, in a direction of decreasing the amount of the recording material.
