Problems solved by technology

[0016] That is, the correction amount for line n+1 is insufficient because the correction amount is correction B-correction B', and the target printing density of line n+1 cannot be obtained
[0017] Specifically, there is a problem that heat storage correction is performed to make n+1 the density that does not produce color, but the heat storage correction is insufficient, resulting in slight color generation in printing density

Embodiment approach 1

[0033] FIG. 1 is a circuit block diagram showing Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a flow of thermal storage correction processing performed by the circuit in the block diagram of FIG. 1 . FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a thermal storage correction method according to the first embodiment.

[0034] In FIG. 1 , an image memory 1 receives image data Dr, Dg, and Db of RGB colors from an external computer, etc., and a color conversion circuit 2 converts the image data Dr, Dg, and Db of each color into print data Dc, Dm, and Dy of each color. , and store these print data Dc, Dm, Dy in the current storage buffer 4 at the same time.

[0035] And at this point, the accumulated data up to the previous line n−1 is stored in the accumulated memory buffer 6 , and the print data of the next line n+1 is stored in the next memory buffer 5 .

[0036] The correction data generation circuit 3 reads the printing data of the current line n from the curre...

Abstract

The device for correcting thermal storage of the thermal head 5 which outputs printing data for every line to the thermal head 5 and controls an electrification time of the thermal head 5 on the basis of the printing data, is equipped with an accumulated data operating means which operates accumulated data caused by the thermal storage of the thermal head 5 up to the previous line n-1, a next line data operating means which operates the printing data of the next line n+1, a correction data generating means which operates correction data [Delta]Ts to correct the printing data of the present line n by using the accumulated data and the next line data, and a head controlling means which controls the electrification time of the thermal head 5 on the basis of the correction data [Delta]Ts generated by the correction data generating means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heat storage correction device and a heat storage correction method for a thermal head of a thermal printer, a thermal sublimation printer, or the like. Background technique [0002] Such a conventional thermal storage correction method will be described in order. [0003] Fig. 6 is a conceptual diagram when there is no thermal storage correction. [0004] Figure 6(a) shows the power-on time of the thermal head. Usually the thermal head reaches the heat corresponding to the power-on time. FIG. 6( b ) is the temperature of the thermal head corresponding to the energization time of the thermal head in FIG. 6( a ). The printing density is usually obtained according to the temperature of the thermal head. FIG. 6( c ) is an example of print output at the time of energization of the thermal head in FIG. 6( a ), showing the print density state at the center. The energization time of the central part of the printed outpu...
