A printing device includes: a controller configured to perform printing wherein in a first case where a first condition is not satisfied, the controller controls the main-scanning unit to perform the main-scanning at a first speed and controls the print head to discharge the ink to correspond to a specific pixel of a partial image to be printed by the partial printing when the print head is at a first position, and in a second case where the first condition is satisfied, the controller controls the main-scanning unit to perform the main-scanning at a second speed slower than the first speed and controls the print head to discharge the ink to correspond to the specific pixel when the print head is at a second position, which is located at a downstream of the first position in the direction of the main-scanning.

A recording device includes a recording unit configured to eject a liquid onto a medium to record, a carriage including the recording unit and configured to move in an X direction corresponding to a medium width direction that intersects a Y direction corresponding to a medium transport direction, a liquid reservoir located in the carriage at a position above the recording unit, configured to contain a liquid, and having a fill port through which the liquid is supplied, a fill port unit located in the carriage at a position above the liquid reservoir and including a component for open/close operation of the fill port, and an operation unit through which the device is operated. The fill port unit and the operation unit partly overlap in a device front-rear direction that is parallel to the medium transport direction, when viewed in the X direction.

One embodiment relates to a liquid discharge head substrate including at least one heat generating resistive element, a first insulating layer covering the heat generating resistive element, a conductive layer disposed on the first insulating layer and overlapping the heat generating resistive element with the first insulating layer interposed therebetween in a plan view with respect to an upper surface of the heat generating resistive element, and a second insulating layer covering an edge of the conductive layer. The edge of the conductive layer has a tapered shape.

An image processing device causing a printing execution unit to: in a first case where a specific condition indicating that ink supply from an ink supply unit to a printing head may be delayed in partial printing is not satisfied, print a partial image by single partial printing; in a second case where the specific condition is satisfied, print the partial image by partial printings including a first partial printing and a second partial printing; in the first case, form a dot having a specific size by the single partial printing, as a dot corresponding to a specific pixel in the partial image; and in the second case, form a dot having a size smaller than the specific size by the first partial printing and form a dot having a size smaller than the specific size by the second partial printing, as the dot corresponding to the specific pixel.

A printing apparatus includes: a platen that supports a printing medium; a head-portion that discharges droplets toward the printing medium while reciprocating on the printing medium; an interval-adjusting-mechanism that adjusts an interval between the platen and the head-portion; and a controller that controls the head-portion and the interval-adjusting-mechanism, in which the controller has a first printing mode in which printing is performed while the interval is set to a first interval and a second printing mode in which the printing is performed while the interval is set to a second interval that is larger than the first interval, as a printing mode in which the printing is performed on the printing medium. The controller controls movement of the head-portion such that a movement stop time of the head-portion when a movement direction of the head-portion is reversed is longer in the second printing mode than in the first printing mode.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a support that extends in a second direction intersecting a first direction in which a printing medium is transported; a carriage that is connected to the support and is movable in the second direction; an ejector that is provided in the carriage and ejects a liquid to the printing medium; and a detector that is provided in the carriage and detects a change in posture of the carriage. In a case where the liquid is not ejected from the ejector, the carriage moves in the second direction, and the detector detects the change in posture of the carriage. The detector outputs posture-change amount information based on the change in posture of the carriage. Ejection of the liquid is corrected based on the posture-change amount information.

An inkjet recording apparatus configured to perform recording operation by ejecting ink at least from a first recording head, includes an ink tank configured to contain the ink to be supplied to the first recording head, a tube configured to connect the first recording head and the ink tank, and a carriage including a first mounting portion on which the first recording head is mounted, a second mounting portion on which a second recording head is detachably mounted, and a contact portion electrically connected to the second recording head, and configured to reciprocate. A protection member protecting the contact portion can be detachably mounted on the second mounting portion.

Images with high image quality having less time-difference unevenness are outputted in an inkjet printing apparatus that performs multi-pass printing using full-line inkjet print heads 2. For this purpose, a CPU is capable of setting a first printing method in which an image for a unit area is printed by a specified number of printing conveyance operations and a second printing method in which an image for a unit area is printed by a smaller number than the specified number of printing conveyance operations. The CPU sets conveyance conditions such that a taken time for one printing conveyance operation of the printing conveyance operations for a unit area in the second printing method is smaller than a taken time for one successive printing conveyance operation of the printing conveyance operations for a unit area in the first printing method.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a transport mechanism which transports a medium in a transport direction, a carriage configured to reciprocally move in scanning directions which intersect the transport direction, a liquid ejecting head which is installed on the carriage, and a tube through which the liquid supplied from a liquid storage container to the liquid ejecting head passes. The liquid ejecting apparatus further includes a holding section which holds a waste liquid storage body configured to store a waste liquid. The tube includes a movable portion which forms a curved portion which curves toward downstream in the transport direction and which causes a formation position of the curved portion to move and a fixed portion which is not movable. The holding section is disposed between the fixed portion and a scanning region of the carriage in the transport direction.

A carriage is configured to move by receiving driving force from a carriage motor. A recording head is mounted on the carriage. A controller is configured to: control a power supply to supply a first driving current to a drive target, the first driving current being variable; when a second driving current for driving the carriage motor does not exceed a limiting current, control the power supply to supply the second driving current to the carriage motor, the second driving current being variable, the limiting current being obtained by subtracting the first driving current from an allowable current of the power supply; and when the second driving current exceeds the limiting current, control the power supply to supply a limited second driving current to the carriage motor, the limited second driving current being obtained by cutting a part of the second driving current, the part exceeding the limiting current.
