Claims24
An ink-jet printed product producing apparatus employing a plurality of ink-jet heads, which are provided corresponding to a plurality of inks differing in dyeing characteristics and having a same tone and different compositions, for ejecting the plurality of inks of the same tone and different compositions, and performing printing by ejecting inks from said plurality of ink-jet heads to a printing medium, said apparatus comprising:
- means for providing each of said plurality of ink-jet heads for use at different printing steps for printing on said printing medium, respectively;
- transfer means for transferring ejection data to each of said plurality of ink-jet heads, correspondingly;
- and
- head driving means for driving each of said plurality of ink-jet heads to eject the inks of the same tone and different compositions on a basis of the ejection data.
An ink-jet printed product producing apparatus employing a plurality of ink-jet heads ejecting inks of a same tone and different compositions and performing printing by ejecting inks from said plurality of ink-jet heads to a printing medium containing a plurality of kinds of fibers, said apparatus comprising:
- transfer means for transferring ejection data to each of said plurality of ink-let heads, correspondingly;
- head driving means for driving each of said plurality of ink-jet heads to elect the inks of the same tone and different compositions on a basis of the ejection data;
- and
- control means for varying an ejection ratio of the inks ejected to the printing medium through said plurality of ink-jet heads depending upon a ratio of content of said plurality of fibers, wherein the ejection ratio is a ratio of an ejection amount of respective inks and the content ratio is a ratio of amounts of the plurality of kinds of fibers in the printing medium.
A producing method of an ink-jet printed product for performing printing by ejecting ink onto a printing medium, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of ink-jet heads, which correspond to a plurality of inks differing in dyeing characteristics and having a same tone and different compositions, for ejecting the plurality of inks of the same tone and different compositions;
- transferring ejection data to each of said plurality of ink-jet heads, correspondingly;
- driving each of said plurality of ink-jet heads to eject the inks of the same tone and different compositions based on the ejection data;
- and
- performing printing steps employing respective heads of said plurality of ink-jet heads with a given interval between said printing steps.
