Recording apparatus and color measuring method for recording apparatus

摘要

A recording apparatus includes: a recording unit for applying ink on a sheet by a printing head; a drying unit for drying the sheet; a measuring unit for measuring patterns on the sheet; a conveying unit for conveying the sheet; a recovering unit for performing a printing head-recovering operation; and a control unit for controlling the apparatus such that, the recording apparatus performs recording to form patterns, the conveying unit performs first conveying to convey the sheet from a recording region to a drying region, the drying unit performs drying, the conveying unit performs second conveying to convey the sheet from the drying region to a measuring region, and the measuring unit performs measuring, in sequence, wherein the recovering operation is performed at timing at least partially overlapping at least one of the first and second conveying operations, the drying operation, and the color measuring operation, after the recording operation.
