Abstract
When recording is performed by using ink and a processing liquid for making a color material in the ink insoluble in a combined manner, a distance between a recording head and a sheet of paper is set to a larger value in a one-pass recording mode than in a multi-pass recording mode before the start of the recording. Also, when recording is performed on a film medium, the distance between the recording head and the sheet of paper is set to a smaller value than the case of using ordinary paper before the start of the recording.
Claims9
An ink jet recording apparatus in which recording is performed by ejecting ink from an ink ejection portion of a recording head, and causing the ink to adhere onto a recording medium, said recording apparatus comprising:
- control means for changing a distance between said ink ejection portion and said recording medium depending on how the recording medium is apt to elongate upon application of the ink to said recording medium.
An ink jet recording apparatus in which an ink ejection portion for ejecting ink and a processing liquid ejection portion for ejecting a processing liquid that makes a color material in the ink insoluble are employed to perform recording by selecting one of a first recording mode to make recording by ejecting the ink and the processing liquid onto a recording medium in a superimposed relation and a second recording mode to eject the ink but not the processing liquid onto said recording medium, said recording apparatus comprising:
- control means for increasing a distance between said ink ejection portion and said recording medium to a larger value when recording is performed in said first recording mode than when recording is performed in said second recording mode.
