Problems solved by technology

However, this method cannot be used in cases where the nozzles ejecting inks of other colors (that is, inks other than black) are defective
Also, in the event that any of the nozzles used for compensation fails, compensation is performed using resultant colors such as red (yellow + magenta), green (cyan + yellow), and blue (cyan + magenta), which are different For the blackening method, very poor print quality will be obtained

Abstract

The present invention relates to an inkjet image forming apparatus and a method of compensating for defective nozzles in the inkjet image forming apparatus. By analyzing the ejection state of the nozzles ejecting ink at the compensation position and the positions adjacent to the compensation position, the compensation position is the position printed with the defective nozzle, and according to the ejection state of the nozzle, by the ejection and compensation position. Ink of different color from the ink of the defective nozzle mixes the ink ejected at the adjacent position to the compensation position to compensate the defective nozzle. Therefore, ink dots lost by defective nozzles can be compensated, so that deterioration of image quality, which is easily perceived by the user, such as leucorrhea, can be avoided. In addition, the compensation effect can be improved by adjusting the jetting quantity or chromaticity of ink jetted at or near the compensation position.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C §119(a) to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2005-0090708 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on September 28, 2005, the full disclosure of which is at Introduced here for reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an inkjet imaging device. More particularly, it relates to an inkjet image forming apparatus that can compensate for image quality deterioration due to occurrence of defective nozzles, and a method for compensating for occurrence of defective nozzles in the inkjet image forming apparatus. Background technique [0003] In general, an inkjet image forming device is a device that ejects ink to form an image using a print head that is separated from a print medium by a predetermined interval and that reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to a conveying direction of the print medium. Such an inkjet imaging device that uses a printing head to spray ink on a printing mediu...
