An inkjet recording apparatus and an inkjet recording method are provided that facilitate designing of units for subsequent treatment in terms of their shapes and/or positions, while suppressing variability in image quality resulting from subsequent treatment. Two or more recording heads are disposed in a staggered arrangement in X and Y directions. The paired units for subsequent treatment are disposed in parallel to each other along the X direction, and the recording heads are interposed between these units. The length of each of the units for subsequent treatment in the X direction is greater than or equal to the ink-dischargeable extent in the X direction of the recording heads in one scan. The recording heads are arranged, so that nozzle groups, from which the droplets of the same color are discharged, are disposed symmetrically with respect to an intermediary line between the paired units for subsequent treatment.

A recording apparatus includes a white ink jet head, a non-white ink jet head, and a control section that controls performing recording by performing a main scan a plurality of times in which, while a position of an ink jet head relative to the recording medium is moved, an ink composition is ejected from the ink jet head and is applied to the recording medium. The control section performs recording in a first recording mode in which the white ink composition and the non-white ink composition are applied to the same scan region of the recording medium by the same main scan and recording in a second recording mode in which the white ink composition and the non-white ink composition are applied to the same scan region of the recording medium by different main scans.

An integrated circuit for a fluidic die including an address bus to communicate a set of addresses, a first group of die configuration functions including a first address driver to drive a first portion of an address of the set of addresses on the address bus, a second group of die configuration functions including a second address driver to drive a second portion of the address of the set of addresses on the address bus, and an array of fluid actuating devices addressable by the set of addresses communicated via the address bus.

The width by which the first, second heads overlap each other cross-sectionally along the first direction is greater than the width by which the fifth, sixth heads overlap each other cross-sectionally along the first direction.

There is provided a head module in which a first direction is a main scanning direction, including: a first nozzle row including a first nozzle; a second nozzle row including a second nozzle; and a third nozzle row including a third nozzle, in which a distance P1 between the first nozzle row and the second nozzle row in the first direction and a distance P2 between the first nozzle row and the third nozzle row in the first direction are expressed as P1:P2=E1:O1 where a value E1 is a positive even number and a value O1 is a positive odd number satisfying O1>E1.

A supply unit in which a liquid container including a coupling portion being detachably mounted includes: a liquid introduction unit coupled to the coupling portion of the liquid container; an urging member that urges the liquid container in an uncoupling direction which is a direction opposite to a coupling direction, the coupling direction being a direction in which the liquid container is coupled to the liquid introduction unit; and an engagement lever having an engaging portion that engages with the liquid container when the liquid container is coupled to the liquid introduction unit, the engagement lever includes an operating portion operated by a user and a pressing portion configured to press the liquid container and is configured to release the engagement of the engaging portion with the liquid container when the operating portion is operated and to press the liquid container in the uncoupling direction by the pressing portion.
