Patent number: 5868505Abstract: A printer apparatus in which a multi-nozzle print head can be produced at low cost and which can deal with changes caused with lapse of time. With the printer apparatus, effective resolution can be improved and a more accurate gradation level in picture printing can be achieved for assuring uniform printing quality. The printer apparatus has a shading correction unit 14 for correcting the picture printing data signal for printing using shading correction data previously found and stored in the EE-PROM 10 and shading correction data entered from a man/machine interfacing unit 2 and for generating a head impression signal for driving a print head 16 based on the corrected picture printing data.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1998Date of Patent: February 9, 1999Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Toshio Narushima, Koichiro Kakinuma, Masao Araya, Shinichiro Mikami, Junko Ikegami

Patent number: 5371529Abstract: The present invention is to provide an on-demand type ink-jet printer which is free from the risk such that the nozzle is stopped and which is also free from the maintenance. An ink-jet print head comprises a liquid chamber (2) into which a carrier liquid (7) is filled, ink-jet driving means (3), (4) disposed within the liquid chamber (2), a nozzle (14) communicated with the liquid chamber (2) and a mixing unit (14a) disposed in the vicinity of the nozzle (14) for mixing an ink (9) into the carrier liquid (7). The ink (9) is mixed into the carrier liquid (7) in the liquid chamber (2) by the mixing unit (14a), pressed by the ink-jet driving means (3), (4) and then ink-jetted from the nozzle (14). Since the carrier liquid (7) is constantly filled into the nozzle (14), the nozzle (14) can be prevented from being choked up.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1992Date of Patent: December 6, 1994Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yasuhito Eguchi, Makoto Ando, Toshio Narushima, Kaoru Tomono, Masayuki Sato, Masao Araya
