Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus includes: a print head having an ink discharge port for discharging ink toward a recording medium, thereby performing printing on the recording medium; a recording medium thickness setting unit setting a thickness of the recording medium; a droplet amount setting unit setting an ink droplet amount depending on the recording medium thickness; and a droplet amount control unit controlling an amount of an ink droplet to be discharged from the ink discharge port to the set ink droplet amount.
Claims11
An ink jet recording apparatus, comprising:
- a print head having an ink discharge port for discharging ink toward a recording medium, thereby performing printing on the recording medium;
- a recording medium thickness setting unit setting a thickness of the recording medium;
- a droplet amount setting unit setting an ink droplet amount depending on the recording medium thickness;
- and
- a droplet amount control unit controlling an amount of an ink droplet to be discharged from the ink discharge port to the set ink droplet amount.
A method for controlling an ink jet recording apparatus having a print head formed with an ink discharge port for discharging ink toward a recording medium and a controller controlling an ink amount of an ink droplet to be discharged from the ink discharge port, the method comprising:
- setting thickness of the recording medium;
- and
- setting an ink droplet amount depending on the recording medium thickness, the controller controlling the ink amount of an ink droplet to be discharged from the ink discharge port to the set ink droplet amount.
A storage medium storing a set of program instructions executable on a data processing device for controlling an ink jet recording apparatus having a print head formed with an ink discharge port for discharging ink toward a recording medium and a controller controlling an ink amount of an ink droplet to be discharged from the ink discharge port, the instructions comprising:
- setting thickness of the recording medium;
- and
- setting an ink droplet amount depending on the recording medium thickness, the controller controlling the ink amount of an ink droplet to be discharged from the ink discharge port to the set ink droplet amount.
