1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an image formation apparatus, a method for examining a discharge of transparent droplets, and a program for examining the discharge of transparent droplets.
2. Description of the Related Art
It is difficult to visually observe patterns formed with transparent droplets unlike patterns formed with color ink droplets.
Some documents describe a technique of performing registration adjustment through detection of recording positions of transparent droplets by a detection unit based on the fact that if transparent droplets are placed on color ink when printing is performed, color is different from a case where printing is performed with only the color ink (see Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example).
However, it is difficult to visually detect nozzle clogging or a curved discharge from multiple patterns formed with transparent droplets discharged from multiple nozzles.
