<p>An ink jet printing system having a preheating system for preheating ink during non-printing periods. The system receives print data and commands, feeds paper into the ink jet printer in response to the receipt of print data and commands, detects an ambient temperature within the ink jet printer and determines if the ambient temperature is above a predetermined threshold temperature, preheats the ink supplied to a print head in the ink jet printer during feeding of paper in the case the detected ambient temperature is below the predetermined threshold temperature, moves a printer carriage carrying the print head from a non-printing area to a printing area so as to print the print data. During the moving of the carriage from a non-printing area to a printing area, the ambient temperature is again detected and it is determined again if it is below the predetermined threshold temperature and, in the case that it is, the ink supplied to the print head is preheated during the moving of the printer carriage in the non-printing area. <IMAGE></p> |
