Abstract

See full text

A dot recording apparatus forms dots on a recording medium while relatively moving a recording head that includes a plurality of nozzles and the recording medium in a main scanning direction. The dot recording apparatus performs multi-pass recording in which dot recording on a main scanning line is completed by a plurality of main scanning passes. In dot recording in each main scanning pass, the dot recording is performed using a plurality of super cell regions that include m types of super cell regions having different sizes, the super cell region being formed as one dot group by some of the plurality of nozzles and having a boundary line portion which is not parallel to either the main scanning direction or a sub-scanning direction that intersects the main scanning direction in at least a portion of a boundary line between the super cell region and another super cell region.
