Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A serial type inkjet printing apparatus performs the following processing. A slant is set between the nozzle arrayed direction and the carriage moving direction for each printing column in the carriage moving direction. The carriage position is detected. Image data stored in a print buffer in association with each printing column is divided based on the detected carriage position and the slant in the printing column corresponding to the set position of the carriage. The image data is read by separating it into respective data used for first-and-second-scan printings by the printhead in an identical region, based on the detected carriage position, and the slant in the printing column corresponding to the set position of the carriage. Printing is performed by first-and-second-scanning the printhead on the identical region, using the read image data.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A printing apparatus which prints by discharging ink from a plurality of nozzles onto a print medium while reciprocally scanning a carriage, which mounts a printhead on which the plurality of nozzles are arrayed, in a direction crossing a direction in which the plurality of nozzles are arrayed, the apparatus comprising: an obtaining unit configured to obtain slant information indicating a slant between the direction in which the nozzles are arrayed, and a mo…
