  • Publication number: 20100073411
    Abstract: A conventional ink jet recording device has a phenomenon of such that a transverse pitch between longitudinal dot column of a first line and that of a second line of character lines to be printed becomes narrower than that between other longitudinal dot columns when printing out on a printing object traveling in high speed. Consequently, an ink jet recording device of the invention makes an interval between ink droplets on the longitudinal dot column of the first line and those on the longitudinal dot column of the second line longer than an interval between the ink droplets on the longitudinal dot column of a subsequent line following the second line.
