Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A printing device includes a paper medium print mode configured to execute printing on a paper medium; and a textile print mode configured to execute printing on a fabric medium, a print resolution in the textile print mode being lower than a print resolution in the paper medium print mode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A printing device comprising: a paper medium print mode configured to execute printing on a paper medium; and a textile print mode configured to execute printing on a fabric medium, a maximum value of a print resolution in the textile print mode being lower than a minimum value of a print resolution in the paper medium print mode. 2. The printing device according to claim 1 , wherein a print resolution in a main scanning direction in the textile print mode is lower than a print resolution in the main scanning direction in the paper medium print mode. 3. The printing device according to claim 2 , wherein a print speed in the textile print mode is slower than a print speed in the paper medium print mode. 4. The printing device according to claim 2 , wherein types of inks used in the textile print mode are greater in number than types of inks used in the paper medium print mode. 5. The printing device according to claim 2 , wherein a weight ratio of a solvent included in an ink not used in the textile print mode but used in the paper medium print mode to a whole ink is larger than a weight ratio of a solvent contained in an ink used in the textile print mode and the paper medium print mode to a whole ink. 6. The printing device according to claim 1 , wherein a print resolution in a sub-scanning direction in the textile print mode is lower than a print resolution in the sub-scanning direction in the paper medium print mode. 7. The printing device according to claim 1 , wherein an ink weight required for forming a maximum dot in the textile print mode is smaller than an ink weight required for forming a maximum dot in the paper medium print mode. 8. The printing device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between a meniscus position of a nozzle ejecting ink in the textile print mode and the fabric medium is longer than a distance between a meniscus position of a nozzle ejecting ink in the paper medium print mode and the paper medium. 9. A control method for a printing device, comprising: executing printing on a paper medium in a paper medium print mode; and executing printing on a fabric medium in a textile print mode, a maximum value of a print resolution in the textile print mode being lower than a minimum value of a print resolution in the paper medium print mode. 10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a control program for a printing device with a computer, the control program comprising: a paper medium print mode configured to execute printing on a paper medium; and a textile print mode configured to execute printing on a fabric medium, the control program causing the computer to execute printing in which a maximum value of a print resolution in the textile print mode is lower than a minimum value of a print resolution in the paper medium print mode.
