Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 128 words
A color ink jet recording method in which color image recording is conducted on each pixel using plural kinds of inks of different colors, comprising the steps of: preparing at least one low-permeability ink and at least one high-permeability inks wherein said high-permeability ink is not black; converting all the data of an image which is to be printed using said low-permeability ink so that an area in which the printing is to be done is subjected to printing using said low-permeability ink in combination with said high-permeability ink; a first shooting wherein said high-permeability ink is shot at first pixels at alternate positions within said area; and then a second shooting wherein said low-permeability ink is shot at second pixels at complimentary positions adjacent said first pixels.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 128 words
A color ink jet recording method in which color image recording is conducted on each pixel using plural kinds of inks of different colors, comprising the steps of: preparing at least one low-permeability ink and at least one high-permeability inks wherein said high-permeability ink is not black; converting all the data of an image which is to be printed using said low-permeability ink so that an area in which the printing is to be done is subjected to printing using said low-permeability ink in combination with said high-permeability ink; a first shooting wherein said high-permeability ink is shot at first pixels at alternate positions within said area; and then a second shooting wherein said low-permeability ink is shot at second pixels at complimentary positions adjacent said first pixels.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
The color ink jet recording method according to claim 1, wherein said first shooting step comprises shooting said high-permeability ink at said first pixels at alternate positions in longitudinal and traverse directions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The color ink jet recording method according to claim 1, wherein said preparing step comprises preparing at least two different high-permeability inks.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 31 words
The color ink jet recording method according to claim 3, wherein said first shooting step comprises shooting said at least two different high-permeability inks at first pixels in a lapped manner.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 38 words
The color ink jet recording method according to claim 1, further comprising a third shooting wherein said low-permeability ink is shot at first pixels so that all the pixels within the said area are shot using low-permeability ink.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
The color ink jet recording method according to claim 5, wherein said preparing step comprises preparing at least two different high-permeability inks.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 31 words
The color ink jet recording method according to claim 6, wherein said first shooting step comprises shooting said at least two different high-permeability inks at first pixels in a lapped manner.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 40 words
The color ink jet recording method according to claim 4, wherein said second shooting comprises shooting said low-permeability ink simultaneously at said first and second pixels so that all the pixels within the said area are shot with low-permeability ink.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 169 words
The color ink jet recording method in which color image recording is conducted on each pixel using plural kinds of inks of different colors, comprising the steps of: preparing at least one low-permeability ink and at least one high-permeability ink, wherein said high-permeability ink is not black; converting all data of an image which is to be printed using said low-permeability ink so that an area in which the printing is to be done is subjected to printing using said low-permeability ink in combination with said high-permeability ink; a first shooting wherein said high-permeability ink is shot at first pixels at alternate positions within said area; then a second shooting wherein said low-permeability ink is shot at second pixels at complimentary positions adjacent said first pixels; then a third shooting wherein said high-permeability ink is shot at said first pixels in a lapped manner, wherein the said high-permeability ink used in the third shooting step has a different color from said high-permeability ink used in the second shooting step.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 169 words
The color ink jet recording method in which color image recording is conducted on each pixel using plural kinds of inks of different colors, comprising the steps of: preparing at least one low-permeability ink and at least one high-permeability ink, wherein said high-permeability ink is not black; converting all data of an image which is to be printed using said low-permeability ink so that an area in which the printing is to be done is subjected to printing using said low-permeability ink in combination with said high-permeability ink; a first shooting wherein said high-permeability ink is shot at first pixels at alternate positions within said area; then a second shooting wherein said low-permeability ink is shot at second pixels at complimentary positions adjacent said first pixels; then a third shooting wherein said high-permeability ink is shot at said first pixels in a lapped manner, wherein the said high-permeability ink used in the third shooting step has a different color from said high-permeability ink used in the second shooting step.
