Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composite recording medium wherein two or more types of parts having different surface properties are integrated, a manufacturing method therefor, and a set of two or more types of recording mediums having different surface properties.
- the present invention relates to a composite recording medium wherein two or more parts having different surface properties are integrated, capable of most effectively obtaining ink images having desired image quality, and exhibiting outstanding productivity in terms of obtaining images with a plurality of image qualities at one time, a manufacturing method and recording method therefor, recordings wherein ink images are recorded using the same, a recording medium set containing the same, and a recording medium set comprising two or more types of recording mediums having different surface properties.
- the present invention also relates to a dot recording apparatus suitable for those composite recording mediums.
- the surface for forming images is of even quality, and it is necessary to do re-recording in cases where the image quality of the recorded image obtained does not match the preference of the image producer, or in cases where it is desired to use another recording medium and compare the quality of the recorded images.
- the use of such recording mediums has proven ineffective in obtaining recorded images exhibiting the desired image quality, it being necessary, for example, to make repeated trial printings until the quality of the recorded image obtained corresponds to personal preference.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a recording medium wherewith the problems noted above can be resolved and recorded images having the desired image quality can be obtained most effectively.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a recording medium exhibiting outstanding productivity in that an image having a plurality of image qualities can be obtained in one operation.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a recording medium for use in making trial printings.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a set of recording mediums wherewith trial printings can be made.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a recording medium wherewith it is possible to make trial printings with one sheet of recording paper.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a dot recording apparatus and dot recording method suitable for the print processing of these recording mediums, and a computer readable recording medium whereon is recorded a program for executing that dot recording method in a print processing apparatus.
- the present invention which is based on those research findings, provides a composite recording medium that is characterized by having two or more types of parts exhibiting different surface properties integrated therein.
- different surface properties is meant that the surface properties differ in outward appearance. Even if the surface (uppermost face) is uniformly smooth, the surface properties are considered to be different if there is the appearance of difference due to the effects of an internal layer therein. More specifically, in the case of a recording medium wherein a resin coating layer is formed having two or more types of face properties on a substrate, and an ink accepting layer is formed as a surface layer (uppermost layer) on that resin coating layer, the surface properties are considered to differ if the parts noted appear to differ, in terms of external appearance, due to the face properties of that resin coating layer, even though the surface be uniformly smooth.
- dot recording is performed on a composite recording medium by pre-recording, for each of two or more types of parts configuring the composite recording medium wherein two or more types of parts having different surface properties are integrated, a color compensation table for converting prescribed image data to image data suitable for dot recording processing wherein color separation is performed for each element color, parameters for defining the operation of head drive means for performing drive control for a dot recording head provided with dot recording element for recording dots on the composite recording medium, parameters for defining the operation of primary scanning drive means for performing primary scanning, relatively driving the dot recording head and the composite recording medium, and parameters for defining the operation of secondary scanning drive means for performing secondary scanning, relatively driving the dot recording head and the composite recording medium each time the primary scanning ends; converting, for each of the two or more types of parts, the image data, referencing the corresponding color compensation table; and controlling the operation of the primary scanning drive means, the head drive means, and the secondary scanning drive means, referencing the parameters.
- dot recording element a component for recording dots, such as an ink nozzle in an ink jet printer. Accordingly, besides the piezo jet scheme wherein the capacity of a pressurized chamber is changed by the volumetric change in a piezoelectric element and ink droplets are blown out, this may also be a bubble jet scheme wherein droplets of ink loaded inside a pressurized chamber are blown out when vapor is suddenly generated by the application of heat.
- the present invention further provides a computer readable recording medium on which procedures for effecting the dot recording method noted above are written by a program.
- a computer readable recording medium is meant something whereon a program or the like is recorded by some physical means or other, capable of implementing the desired functions in a print processing apparatus. Accordingly, it may be anything that downloads to the print processing apparatus by some means or other and effects the desired functions.
- Examples include not only transportable recording media such as an optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, PD disk, MD disk, and MO disk, etc.), but also flexible disks (FD) or internal memory devices such as a RAM or ROM inside a computer, or an external memory device such as a hard disk. Also included are paper whereon bar code is recorded, and cards in which holes are punched according to a code system.
