Abstract

A dot judgment circuit judges whether there exists color information in dot-pattern-developed image data of pixels around a black pixel under attention. When not finding the existence of color information, the dot judgment circuit selects a head driver for driving a recording head for jetting a slow drying black pixel. When finding the existence of color information, the dot judgment circuit selects a head driver for a recording head for jetting a quick drying black ink or head drivers for recording heads for jetting quick drying Y, M and C inks.
