"An inkjet printer that ejects ink from a print head has become a widespread form of an output device for a computer. Especially in recent years, a color printer that uses color ink has also been widely utilized. For example, as is described in Patent Citation 1, there is one color printer in which a plurality of nozzle groups for ejecting different inks are arrayed in a secondary scanning direction on a print head of the color printer. In Patent Document 1, a nozzle row in which a nozzle group for black ink is arrayed in the secondary scanning direction and a nozzle row in which a nozzle group for color inks of respective colors is arrayed in the secondary scanning direction are provided to the print head.
"Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2001-146032 (Patent Document 1) is an example of the related art."
In addition to obtaining background information on this patent, VerticalNews editors also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent: "Problems to Be Solved by the Invention
"However, in a printing method for the color printer described in Patent Citation 1, a difference in the order in which the black ink and the respectively colored inks overlap arises between a print surface on an outgoing path and the print surface on a return path in a case where bidirectional printing is to be carried out during color printing, and as a result, a problem has emerged in that an unevenness occurs in the print surface.
"Having been contrived in order to resolve the above-mentioned problem at least in part, the present invention can be implemented as the aspects and application examples described below."
