Abstract
Provided is a printing method of performing printing onto a recording medium to be transported with a plurality of recording element arrays. The printing method includes a storing step of storing a perimeter of a timing roller upon acquiring correction data in association with the correction data, an obtaining step of obtaining the perimeter during printing after the storing step of storing the perimeter upon acquiring the correction data, and a modifying step of modifying the correction data during the printing in accordance with the perimeter upon acquiring the correction data and the perimeter during the printing.
Claims14
A printing method of performing printing onto a recording medium to be transported with a plurality of recording element arrays, the printing method comprising
- a storing step of storing a perimeter of a timing roller upon acquiring correction data in association with the correction data, the correction data being used for correcting printing timings of the recording element arrays;
- an obtaining step of obtaining the perimeter during printing after the storing step of storing the perimeter upon acquiring the correction data;
- and
- a modifying step of modifying the correction data during the printing in accordance with the perimeter upon acquiring the correction data and the perimeter during the printing.
A printing apparatus, comprising:
- a timing roller contacting a recording medium to be transported;
- a perimeter obtaining unit obtaining a perimeter of the timing roller;
- a storing unit storing correction data used for correcting printing timings and the perimeter upon acquiring the correction data in association with each other;
- a correction data modifying unit modifying the correction data associated with the perimeter into modified correction data in accordance with the perimeter during printing and the perimeter stored in the storing unit;
- and
- a plurality of recording element arrays performing printing onto the recording medium to be transported at corrected printing timings corrected with the modified correction data.
