Abstract: A toner for a thermal transfer printing sheet is advantageous in terms of a fixing property to a release sheet, durability against deformation upon cooling, and a property of holding an image-forming toner, in addition to grindability and chargeability of the toner. The toner for a thermal transfer printing sheet is characterized by comprising a negative-charged crystalline polyester resin, wherein the toner has an average particle size D50 (volume) of 20 to 50 ?m.

Abstract: A file management apparatus causes a plurality of book files serving as management targets to be displayed on an editing operation screen in a list form and, each time a file is selected by a user as a processing target, causes a selection order rank set by the user to be individually displayed at a specific position on the editing operation screen corresponding to the file. Then, by combining the plurality of book files selected by the user as processing targets in accordance with the selection order ranks set by the user, the file management apparatus generates a new book file.

Abstract: Provided is a film-forming toner excellent in grindability hand having a sufficient negative chargeability, and facilitate grinding performed in the manufacture. The film-forming toner contains a main resin, and a low-molecular-weight resin having a weight-average molecular weight lower than that of the main resin. The low-molecular-weight resin is one or more resins selected from terpene resins, alicyclic hydrocarbon resins, ?-methylpolystyrene, modified rosin, novolak resins, modified novolak resins, aliphatic hydrocarbon resins, aromatic hydrocarbon resins, copolymerized resins of these resins, esterified modified rosin, a coumarone resin, C5 and C9 petroleum resins, and derivatives thereof. A proportion of the low-molecular-weight resin in the film-forming toner is 5 to 40 mass %. The film-forming toner has an average particle diameter D50 (volume) of 9 to 50 ?m.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for forming a thermal transfer printing sheet. The apparatus includes: a release sheet feeder that feeds a release sheet having a release surface; a first image forming section that transfers an image, which is to be thermally transferred and printed on a transfer medium, onto the release surface of the release sheet; a second image forming section that forms a thermoplastic resin pattern corresponding to the image as a transfer base material and transfers the thermoplastic resin pattern onto the release surface of the release sheet; and a fixing section that fixes the image and the thermoplastic resin pattern onto the release surface of the release sheet in a film shape, through heat and pressure.

Abstract: An image processing device includes an extraction unit, a judgment unit, a restoration unit and a specification unit. The extraction unit specifies a first same-color area having a color similar to a color of a pointer in a pre-pointed image of a subject not overlapped by the pointer to extract a pointer portion from a being-pointed image of the subject overlapped by the pointer on the basis of the first same-color area. The restoration unit restores a dividing portion of the pointer portion using a surrounding image of the dividing portion when the judgment unit judges that the pointer portion is divided. The specification unit specifies a pointed position pointed with the pointer on the subject on the basis of a shape of the restored pointer portion.

Abstract: This invention provides a label forming apparatus including a release sheet having a release surface from which an adhered adhesive material is releasable, an adhesive material layer stacked on the release surface of the release sheet, a coat layer stacked on a surface of the adhesive material layer opposite to the release sheet, a label portion having a thermoplastic resin secured to a surface of the coat layer opposite to the adhesive material layer, and an edging portion provided on a surface of the coat layer opposite to the adhesive material layer and having a thermoplastic resin secured to a position spaced apart from the label portion so as to surround the label portion.

Abstract: Desired designated sections are selectively extracted from a color image to be printed, the extracted designated sections are converted into a solid black image having a high thermal energy absorbency, and the solid black image is printed on the foaming layer surface of a supplied thermal expansion sheet. Next, thermal energy is applied by a halogen lamp in a thermal expansion processing unit, causing the solid black image section to expand and rise. Furthermore, in an ink jet printer unit, a prescribed color that is a background color is printed on the entire foaming layer surface of the thermal expansion sheet including the raised sections. Furthermore, the color image to be printed is printed thereon by an ink jet recording method to obtain color image three-dimensional printed material.
