LIQUID DISCHARGING DEVICE AND LIQUID DISCHARGING METHOD

摘要

The discharge apparatus includes a head having liquid discharge parts for discharging droplets from nozzles (31). The head has a number of head chips (25) staggeringly arranged on it for each color of droplets, with the head chips having a number of the liquid discharge parts collaterally arranged in them. The head chips are arranged in the staggering manner so as to overlap at parts of adjacent head chips when viewed from the feed direction of a recording medium, and the distance (Ls) between nozzles of staggeringly arranged adjacent head chips which form dots of the same color is set to be an even number multiple of one pitch which corresponds to a feed length for one line of the recording medium. The distance (Ld) between nozzles of head chips which form dots of different color is set to be an even number multiple of one pitch which corresponds to a feed length for one line of the recording medium. An independent claim is also included for a method of discharging liquid which discharges droplets from nozzles using the above apparatus.
