Recording apparatus for periodically emitting recording materials by material specific emission amount

A recording apparatus, comprising:

• recording material emitting means for emitting a plurality of different types of recording material independently while the recording material emitting means performs a reciprocating operation;
• recording material receiving means provided outside a recording area for receiving said recording materials emitted from said recording material emitting means during the reciprocating operation;
• prescribed emission amount setting means for setting prescribed amount of emission determined for each said recording materials;
• measuring means for measuring an emitted amount of said recording materials for each of said recording materials emitted from said recording material emitting means to the recording area;
• and
• control means for controlling said recording material emitting means such that said recording materials are periodically emitted in said amount determined for each recording material, to said recording material receiving means, in accordance with said prescribed emission amount and said emitted amount.

A recording apparatus, comprising:

• recording material emitting means for emitting a plurality of different types of recording materials independently while performing a reciprocating operation;
• recording material receiving means provided outside a recording area for receiving from the plurality of nozzles said recording materials emitted from said recording material emitting means during the reciprocating operation;
• recording material emission amount setting means for setting, for each of said recording materials, an amount of emission of the recording material emitted to said recording material receiving means;
• and
• control means for controlling said recording material emission means, so that each of said recording materials are periodically emitted by said emission amount to said recording material receiving means.
