Abstract
A liquid discharge method for a liquid discharge apparatus having a plurality of print modes includes determining and changing. The determining determines the print modes by a determiner. The changing changes, based on the print mode determined by the determiner, a use nozzle width and a discharge amount of a spot color head in a line feed direction such that a print mode having a low print speed has a narrower nozzle width and a larger discharge amount than a print mode having a high print speed by a controller.
Claims19
A liquid discharge apparatus having a plurality of print modes, the liquid discharge apparatus comprising:
- determiner circuitry configured to determine the print modes;
- UV curable ink;
- and
- a controller configured to change, based on the print mode determined by the determiner circuitry, a use nozzle width and a discharge amount of the UV curable ink with a spot color head in a line feed direction such that a print mode having a low print speed has a narrower nozzle width and a larger discharge amount of the UV curable ink than a print mode having a high print speed.
A computer readable non-transitory recording medium storing a liquid discharge program of a liquid discharge apparatus having a plurality of print modes, the liquid discharge program being configured to cause a computer to perform:
- determining the print mode;
- and
- changing, based on the print mode which has been determined, a use nozzle width and a discharge amount of UV curable ink with a spot color head in a line feed direction such that a print mode having a low print speed has a narrower nozzle width and a larger discharge amount of the UV curable ink than a print mode having a high print speed.
