Problems solved by technology

However, this method cannot be used in cases where a nozzle that ejects a color ink other than black (i.e., cyan, magenta, or yellow) fails
When any of the nozzles used for compensation also fails, use other colors such as deep red (yellow + magenta), green (cyan + yellow) and blue (cyan + magenta) for compensation, which are different from paint The blackening process or compound blackening process will seriously affect the print quality

Abstract

An inkjet image forming apparatus and a method of defective nozzle compensation in the inkjet image forming apparatus. The method includes detection of an occurrence and a position of the defective nozzle in a nozzle unit, when the defective nozzle is detected, analyzing image information on image data which are to be printed at a compensated position which is a position printed with the defective nozzle and image data which are to be printed at positions adjacent to the compensated position, and exchanging the image data which are to be printed at the compensated position for image data which are to be printed at one of the adjacent positions according to the analyzed image information and performing printing. Missing dots caused by the defective nozzle are compensated by exchanging image data and performing printing. Accordingly, since the image data are exchanged and printed, it is possible to prevent deterioration in image quality such as a white band which can be easily perceivedby a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an inkjet imaging system, in particular to an inkjet imaging system capable of compensating image quality degradation caused by a faulty nozzle and a method for compensating a faulty nozzle in the inkjet imaging system. Background technique [0002] In general, an inkjet image forming system is a device that forms an image by ejecting ink from a print head spaced apart from a printing medium at a predetermined interval and reciprocating in a direction perpendicular to a conveying direction of the printing medium. Such an inkjet image forming apparatus that forms an image by ejecting ink onto a printing medium with a print head that reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the printing medium is called a shuttle type inkjet image forming apparatus. A print head of a shuttle type inkjet image forming apparatus has a nozzle unit including a plurality of nozzles for ejecting ink. [0003] Rec...
