Abstract
An inkjet printer having, a white color head to jet a white color ink; a plurality of process color heads to jet respective process color inks; and a controller to control operations of the white color head and the plurality of process color heads, wherein the controller selectively conducts a control of a top face printing where at least one of the plurality of the process color heads jets the respective process color ink after the white color head jets the white color ink, or a control of a bottom face printing where the white color head jets the white color ink after at least one of the plurality of the process color heads jets the respective process color ink.
Claims38
An inkjet printer comprising:
- a white color head to jet a white color ink;
- a plurality of process color heads to jet respective process color inks;
- and
- a controller to control operations of the white color head and the plurality of process color heads, wherein
- the controller selectively conducts a control of a top face printing where at least one of the plurality of the process color heads jets the respective process color ink after the white color head jets the white color ink, or a control of a bottom face printing where the white color head jets the white color ink after at least one of the plurality of the process color heads jets the respective process color ink.
An inkjet printer comprising:
- a white color head to jet a white color ink;
- a plurality of process color heads to jet respective process color ink;
- a single carriage which is movable and is mounted with the white color head and the plurality of the process color heads;
- and
- a transporting device to transport a recording medium;
- wherein by the movement of the head according to the carriage movement and by the movement of the recording medium transported by the transporting device, each of the white color head and the plurality of the process color heads passes through the predetermined area of the recording medium only once, meanwhile jetting respective inks onto the predetermined area of the recording medium to form an image,
- wherein the white color head is arranged on the single carriage at such a position that the white color head can jet the white color ink before each of the plurality of process color heads jet the respective process color inks, and at such a position that the white color head can jet the white color ink after each of the plurality of process color heads jet the respective process color inks.
An inkjet printer comprising:
- a special color head to jet a special color ink;
- a plurality of process color heads to jet respective process color inks;
- and
- a controller to control operations of the special color head and the plurality of process color heads, wherein
- the controller selectively conducts a control of a top face printing where at least one of the plurality of the process color heads jets the respective process color ink after the white color head jets the white color ink, or a control of a bottom face printing where the white color head jets the white color ink after at least one of the plurality of the process color heads jets the respective process color ink.
An inkjet printer comprising:
- a special color head to jet a special color ink;
- a plurality of process color heads to jet respective process color ink;
- a single carriage which is movable and is mounted with the special color head and the plurality of the process color heads;
- and
- a transporting device to transport a recording medium;
- wherein by the movement of the head according to the carriage movement and by the movement of the recording medium transported by the transporting device, each of the special color head and the plurality of the process color heads passes through the predetermined area of the recording medium only once, meanwhile jetting respective inks onto the predetermined area of the recording medium to form an image,
- wherein the special color head is arranged on the single carriage at such a position that the special color head can jet the special color ink before each of the plurality of process color heads jet the respective process color inks, and at such a position that the special color head can jet the special color ink after each of the plurality of process color heads jet the respective process color inks.
