20220297447 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND A PRINTING METHOD - A shift amount detecting chart is formed on web paper, and the shift amount detecting chart is photographed by an image pickup unit. An image processor calculates shift amounts smaller than a maximum shift amount in absolute values as correction values based on a variation trace of density peak positions from image data corresponding to the shift amount detecting chart photographed by the image pickup unit. A controller corrects printing timing with these correction values. Consequently, even when temporal variations occur to the shift amounts within a predetermined length, since the correction values are calculated based on the shift amounts smaller than the maximum shift amount in absolute values, an excessive correction can be prevented, thereby to improve printing quality. | 2022-09-22 |
