Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A method of ink jet recording for forming a color image including a color-mixed portion by using a plurality of colored inks for at least one of which a plurality of inks having different dyestuff densities are used, said method comprising: compensating OD value data concerning discharge of ink in accordance with a rate of change in the OD value of an image due to a change in the amount of ink supplied and a total amount of ink supplied per picture element.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
83 words
A method of ink jet recording for forming a color image including a color-mixed portion by using a plurality of colored inks for at least one of which a plurality of inks having different dyestuff densities are used, said method comprising: compensating OD value data concerning discharge of ink in accordance with a rate of change in the OD value of an image due to a change in the amount of ink supplied and a total amount of ink supplied per picture element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
84 words
A method of ink jet recording according to claim 1, wherein said OD value data concerning the discharge of said ink is compensated in accordance with the following formula: Da'=Da/{Ka(Qs-Qa)/Qa+1} where a: kind of ink Ka: coefficient concerning the rate of increase in the OD value of ink a Da: OD value of ink a prior to compensation Da': OD value of ink a after compensation Qs: Total amount of ink discharged per picture element Qa: amount of ink a discharged per picture element
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method of ink jet recording according to claim 1, wherein, of said plurality of colored inks, said plurality of inks having different dyestuff densities are used as magenta ink.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method of ink jet recording according to claim 1, wherein, of said plurality of colored inks, said plurality of inks having different dyestuff densities are used as cyan ink.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
110 words
An ink jet recording apparatus for forming a color image by using a plurality of colored inks and expressing gradations by varying the amounts of inks discharged by using for at least one color a plurality of inks having different dyestuff densities, said ink jet recording apparatus comprising: means for outputting a compensating value in which an increment in the OD value during mixing of colors is subtracted on the basis of information on a total amount of said inks to be discharged, information on which of said plurality of said inks having said different dyestuff densities is to be used, and information on the OD value of said ink.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
110 words
An ink jet recording apparatus for forming a color image by using a plurality of colored inks and expressing gradations by varying the amounts of inks discharged by using for at least one color a plurality of inks having different dyestuff densities, said ink jet recording apparatus comprising: means for outputting a compensating value in which an increment in the OD value during mixing of colors is subtracted on the basis of information on a total amount of said inks to be discharged, information on which of said plurality of said inks having said different dyestuff densities is to be used, and information on the OD value of said ink.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
An ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said plurality of inks having said different dyestuff densities are used as magenta ink.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
An ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said plurality of inks having said different dyestuff densities are used as cyan ink.
