Abstract
Provided is an inkjet printing apparatus that includes: an image former that includes an inkjet head and an emitter; a flow rate measurer that measures a flow rate of a cooling medium that cools the emitter; and a hardware processor that controls the image former based on the measured flow rate. The inkjet head ejects ink, which is cured by emission of an active ray, onto a recording medium, and the emitter emits the active ray to the ink to cause the ink to be cured.
Claims14
An inkjet printing apparatus, comprising:
- an image former that includes an inkjet head and an emitter, the inkjet head ejecting ink onto a recording medium, the emitter emitting an active ray to the ink to cause the ink to be cured, the ink being cured by emission of the active ray;
- a flow rate measurer that measures a flow rate of a cooling medium that cools the emitter;
- and
- a hardware processor that controls the image former based on the measured flow rate.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, which causes a computer of an inkjet printing apparatus including:
- an image former that includes an inkjet head and an emitter;
- and
- a flow rate measurer that measures a flow rate of a cooling medium that cools the emitter, the inkjet head ejecting ink onto a recording medium, the emitter emitting an active ray to the ink to cause the ink to be cured, the ink being cured by emission of the active ray,
- to execute control of the image former based on the measured flow rate.
A control method, comprising, in an inkjet printing apparatus including an image former that includes an inkjet head and an emitter, the inkjet head ejecting ink onto a recording medium, the emitter emitting an active ray to the ink to cause the ink to be cured, the ink being cured by emission of the active ray by the inkjet head, executing:
- measuring, by a flow rate measurer, a flow rate of a cooling medium that cools the emitter;
- and
- controlling the image former based on the measured flow rate.
