Abstract

The invention provides a printing apparatus and a printing method that can sufficiently suppress the occurrence of variations in density due to the shifting of landing positions. A printing apparatus includes a carriage unit, and carries out printing on a recording medium while transporting the recording medium. The carriage unit includes a first head that discharges an ink and a second head that discharges an ink of the same color, and the second head is disposed so as to be adjacent to the first head in an x axis direction, and to overlap with the first head in a y axis direction. In an outgoing path in the reciprocation of the carriage unit, a printing density of a first image, which the first head prints, gradually decreases toward a downstream side in a transport direction of the recording medium, and the first image includes a dot group, in which at least two dots formed using the ink from the first nozzles are linked to one another in the x axis direction. In addition, in a return path in the reciprocation of the carriage unit, the second nozzles print a second image, which supplements a decrease in the printing density of the first image.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a printing device and a printing method. Background technique

[0002] There is known a printing device that performs printing on a flexible sheet-like recording medium by an inkjet method. Such printing devices generally include a plurality of print heads that eject ink onto a recording medium. These print heads are arranged so that adjacent print heads partially overlap in the array direction.

[0003] In an overlapping area (overlapping area) between the print heads, ink is ejected from two adjacent print heads to complete an image.

[0004] However, in the overlapping area of ​​such printing devices, there is a problem of density unevenness due to variations in landing positions.

[0005] In order to solve such a problem, an attempt has been made to place, among adjacent print heads, printing pixels overlapping with those of a print head that ejects ink first, within the print pixels of a print head that ejects i...
