Ink-jet printing method and apparatus, and method and apparatus for manufacturing color filter

摘要

This invention has as its object to provide an ink-jet printing method which can uniform the ejection amounts of nozzles with high precision when a printing operation is performed using only some of a plurality of ejection nozzles. To achieve this object, according to this invention, in an ink-jet printing method for dividing all nozzles of an ink-jet head having a plurality of ink ejection nozzles into a plurality of nozzle groups each including nozzles separated by a predetermined number of nozzles, and performing a printing operation by switching the plurality of nozzle groups as needed, the printing operation is performed while variations in ejection amount of the nozzles are uniformed for each nozzle group.
