Thermal printer, thermal printer control method, and printing system

A thermal printer 1 and control method for controlling print speed to prevent variation in printing pitch due to frequent slight changes in the print speed following a significant change in print speed. The print speed, which is the speed at which the print medium i.e., paper is conveyed when printing, is controlled based on known print speed control factors. The thermal printer comprises a paper feed mechanism for conveying the print medium at a controlled print speed passed a thermal print head, a print speed control unit 9 for controlling the print speed of the paper feed mechanism based on the print speed control factors, a print speed change acquisition unit 3 for determining the change in the print speed over a predetermined time, and a comparison unit 7 for determining if the change in print speed exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The print speed control unit 9 limits change in the print speed based on the print speed control factors for a predetermined time after the comparison unit 7 determines that the change in print speed exceeds the threshold value.

Printing system, controller for printing apparatus, method of executing printing process, and program

For a low saturation and high density region in a printed sheet identified based on rasterized data, flushing ejection is executed, with landing positions dispersed in the above-mentioned region. For a region which is low in saturation but is not high in density, an edge portion of the above-mentioned region is determined as the landing positions. During these processes, the adjustment is additionally made to the ejection from inkjet nozzles for color components which are not to be subjected to the flushing ejection, to thereby maintain the original hue of the above-mentioned region. This achieves the flushing ejection while minimizing the degradation of the quality of the printed sheet. Further, in the variable printing, whether the flushing ejection is necessary or not is judged based on details to be printed on a base page. This causes the execution of the flushing ejection whenever individual printed sheets are produced. Therefore, the print quality is held uniform during the production of a multiplicity of different printed sheets.
