  • Publication number: 20240075735
    Abstract: An inkjet printer includes a plurality of nozzles and forms an image on a medium with ink ejected from each of the nozzles, and includes: a detector that detects an ejection failure nozzle of the ink from the plurality of nozzles; a test image former that forms on the medium a test image to which an ejection amount of ink from a neighboring nozzle adjacent to the ejection failure nozzle is added as an extra and supplemented; and a job image former that forms on the medium a job image obtained by performing correction of adding as the extra on the ejection amount of the ink from the neighboring nozzle based on the test image formed on the medium.

  • Publication number: 20200016890
    Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus capable of forming a correction value detection pattern in order to accurately correct an ink landing displacement cyclically occurring due to the driving of a media transporting apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes the media transporting apparatus, an ink supply apparatus, an encoder, a first clock signal generator, a second clock signal generator, and a drive signal generator, in which the drive signal generator includes a first driving circuit and a second driving circuit to generate a drive signal in order to control discharge of ink from ink discharge nozzles in a first nozzle group and a second nozzle group independently of each other on a group basis, and the ink supply apparatus forms the correction value detection pattern on the recording medium transported by the media transporting apparatus.
