Abstract

See full text

An ink-jet printer for printing by scanning a printing head having a plurality of nozzles arranged in a predetermined direction, each designed to discharge an ink droplet (100), over a printing medium in a direction substantially perpendicular to the array direction of the nozzles includes a driving means for time-divisionally driving the nozzles in accordance with driving signals (300) with timings of a plurality of blocks. When multipass printing is performed by scanning different nozzles over each printing area a plurality of times, the driving means drives nozzles used to print the same raster at timings of at least two different blocks. This makes it possible to reduce density unevenness of a printed image due to periodic ink pressure variations.
