Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4091819A1] Provided is an ink-jet recording device in which a head driving unit for driving a recording operation of an ink-jet head is configured to be able to apply a discharge driving pulse Pa for causing an ink to be discharged from a nozzle, and a non-discharge driving pulse Pb for moving a meniscus formed in the nozzle without causing the ink to be discharged from the nozzle. Furthermore, the head driving unit carries out: during an ink discharge period for forming one dot during the recording operation, discharge driving in which the discharge driving pulse is applied a number of times up to a number n of gradations with respect to one dot to be landed on a recording medium, wherein the dot diameter is changed according to the number of times; and, during an ink non-discharge period during the recording operation, non-discharge driving in which the non-discharge driving pulse is applied m times which is equal to or greater than the number n of gradations for a period equal to the ink discharge period for forming the one dot, to move the meniscus.
