Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A printing apparatus includes a nozzle that ejects, onto a medium, photo-curing ink cured when irradiated with light, and an irradiation unit that irradiates, with the light, the photo-curing ink landed on the medium. Here, when printing an image on the medium by coating with the photo-curing ink, the photo-curing ink is ejected from the nozzle so that the photo-curing ink is coated on the medium with a smaller amount of ink than normally coated in a region inside an outer border of the image, and the photo-curing ink is cured by irradiating the image with the light from the irradiation unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A printing apparatus comprising: a nozzle that ejects photo-curing ink onto a medium, the photo-curing ink being cured when irradiated with light; an irradiation unit that irradiates, the photo-curing ink ejected on to the medium with the light; and a controller which controls the nozzle and the irradiation unit to form an image on the medium based on image data, wherein, the controller performs a conversion process setting a first region and a second…
