Abstract:
A liquid holding amount of a porous body of a liquid absorbing member for removing at least a portion of an aqueous liquid component from an image obtained by ink jet printing is controlled so as to reduce damage to the porous body while maintaining performance of removing attached matters from the porous body by using a cleaning member which abuts on the porous body and has an adhesive force.

Claim (Index 12):
An ink jet printing control method comprising:\n an image forming step of forming a first image containing an aqueous liquid component and the coloring material using an image forming unit that includes an ink jet printing unit for applying ink containing the aqueous liquid medium and the coloring material on an ink receiving medium; a liquid absorbing step of absorbing at least a portion of the aqueous liquid component from the first image via a liquid absorbing surface using a liquid absorbing unit that is provided with a liquid absorbing member including a porous body which includes the liquid absorbing surface configured to be brought into contact with the first image; a cleaning step of cleaning the liquid absorbing member using a cleaning member that is disposed so as to be in contact with a liquid absorbing surface of the porous body and has an adhesive force for removing attached matters from the liquid absorbing surface; a contacting step of bringing the cleaning member and the porous body into contact with each other when the image forming unit forms the first image on the ink receiving medium a separating causing step of causing the cleaning member and the porous body to be separated from each other after the image forming unit forms the first image; and an applying step of applying an aqueous liquid to the porous body in order to bring the porous body into a wet state for removing attached matters by the adhesive force, wherein the applying step is executed before the contacting step.
