Image forming apparatus and methods thereof

摘要

Image forming apparatus and methods are disclosed which include identifying a first ink density of ink in an ink tank by a density sensor unit disposed in the ink tank. The image forming apparatus and methods also include identifying an ink weight of ink in an intermediate reservoir by a weight sensor unit. The image forming apparatus and methods also include determining a second ink density of the ink in the intermediate reservoir based at least on the identified first ink density by the density sensor unit and the identified ink weight of the ink in the intermediate reservoir by the weight sensor unit.

1. An ink density control method of an image forming apparatus, the ink density control method comprising:
storing ink in an ink tank of an image forming apparatus to be selectively provided to an ink applicator unit to form images on media; storing ink in an intermediate reservoir of the image forming apparatus; identifying a first ink density of the ink in the ink tank by a density sensor unit disposed in the ink tank; identifying an ink weight of the ink in the intermediate reservoir by a weight sensor unit; and determining a second ink density of the ink in the intermediate reservoir based at least on the identified first ink density by the density sensor unit and the identified ink weight of the ink in the intermediate reservoir by the weight sensor unit.
