<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drawing apparatus with improved accuracy in the drawing position and which results in proper images, by aligning a long flexible recording medium carried on a conveyance passage, correcting the difference between the aligned position and the drawing position, the difference induced during conveyance, and then drawing an image. <P>SOLUTION: While a long flexible recording medium 28 is carried in a specified carrying direction on a conveyance passage of the drawing apparatus, alignment information is obtained by deforming the drawing data so as to allow an image to be drawn to correspond to a state of the flexible recording medium 28 at a position of an alignment unit 46. Further, the position of a specified portion of the flexible recording medium 28 detected in the alignment unit 46 is compared with the position detected when the specified portion of the flexible recording medium 28 reaches a drawing unit 48 to carry out the drawing process for drawing, so as to obtain information about the amount of positional shift. The medium is subjected to the drawing process by the drawing unit 48 using a two-dimensional drawing pattern, with the alignment information corrected based on the information about the amount of the positional shift. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
