  • Patent number: 11890878
    Abstract: A method for generating ejection position data indicating an ejection position where ink is ejected includes performing an edge detection process, an edge correction process, and an ejection position data generation process based on processing target data indicating an image to be printed. In the processing target data, a non-ejection value indicating that ink is not ejected to a corresponding ejection position or an ejection value other than the non-ejection value is set as a pixel value of a pixel. In the edge detection process, a position where a pixel to which the non-ejection value is set and a pixel for which the ejection value is set are adjacent is detected to detect an edge. In the edge correction process, the pixel value of the corresponding pixel is changed to a non-ejection value for at least a part of the ejection position where ink is ejected to draw the edge.

  • Patent number: 11623391
    Abstract: In a three-dimensional shaping device, a support layer includes a dissolution removal target region removed by dissolving in the predetermined liquid and formed at a periphery of at least one part of the three-dimensional shaped object, and a non-dissolution removal target region removed through a method other than dissolution by the predetermined liquid and formed at a periphery of at least one part of the dissolution removal target region. At least one part of the support layer other than the dissolution removal target region is a different material region which is a region formed using a material different from the dissolution removal target region, and is formed at a position of at least one part of the periphery of the dissolution removal target region to indicate a position of a boundary between the dissolution removal target region and the non-dissolution removal target region.

  • Patent number: 11496651
    Abstract: In this print method, assuming that the number of stacking of ink layers in a thickest portion in a thickly-piled portion is N, in a histogram preparation step ST2, a histogram of luminance values of grayscale image data prepared in an image data preparation step ST1 is prepared, and in luminance value range setting steps ST3 to ST10, a luminance value of predetermined gradations of the histogram is divided into N and N luminance value ranges are set. In the luminance value range setting steps ST3 to ST10, a division position of the luminance value of the predetermined gradations is adjusted while the histogram displayed on a predetermined display is checked.

  • Publication number: 20220348026
    Abstract: A raised shape is appropriately formed on a medium. A printing device 10 includes inkjet heads 102y to 102k that are a plurality of color ink heads, an inkjet head 102w that is a light reflective ink head, and a controller 30. The controller 30 causes the inkjet heads 102y to 102k and the inkjet head 102w to form a layered ink region and an image region on the medium 50. The layered ink region is a region including a plurality of colored regions (four-color regions) that are colored regions formed by causing at least two inkjet heads among the plurality of inkjet heads 102y to 102k to eject ink, and a plurality of white layers that are light reflecting regions formed on the colored region. The colored regions in the layered ink region are superimposed with at least the white layer interposed therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20190248074
    Abstract: To appropriately shape a high quality shaped object. A shaping device that shapes a shaped object includes a slice data generating unit that generates a plurality of slice data indicating cross sections of the shaped object; a head unit that ejects a shaping material based on each slice data; and a dither matrix storage unit; where the slice data generating unit determines a position to eject a coloring material in at least one part of the shaped object by performing halftone processing using any one of dither matrices stored in the dither matrix storage unit; and changes the dither matrix to use at a time of generating each slice data in a preset order every time a preset number of the slice data are generated.
