An ink jet printing method and device in which an interpreter of the ink jet recording device reduces a splash (splash event) of ink during the printing of a solid-drawing area. The interpreter analyzes a command and data which indicate the drawing of a thick-line or a filled-in area. After the analysis, vector data of the thick line or the filled-in area is converted into raster data based on a given data pattern and, based on the raster data, ink is ejected with the recording head moving over a recording medium. Prior to the rasterization, the interpreter checks each of the thick line or the filled-in area to be drawn as to whether the data pattern indicates solid-drawing (S44). If the data pattern indicates solid-drawing, the interpreter changes the data pattern to a lower-density pattern (S47). <IMAGE> |
