Abstract: A printing system including: a scanner configured to scan a pattern on a surface of a three-dimensional object; a selection section configured to select a three-dimensional print medium corresponding to the three-dimensional object in accordance with scan data; and a print section configured to form a pattern on a surface of the selected print medium in accordance with the scan data to replicate the three-dimensional object.

Abstract: A printing system includes: a communication interface that acquires printing data from a device; a first printing mechanism that performs printing on a first medium; a second printing mechanism that performs printing on a second medium; and a processor that analyzes an image of the acquired printing data, permits printing on the first medium and printing on the second medium when it is determined that the image of the printing data is a first type image, and permits printing on the first medium and prohibits printing on the second medium when it is determined that the image of the printing data is a second type image.

Abstract: A biaxially oriented polyester film whose thermal shrinkage factors satisfy relationships represented by the following expressions (1) to (5) at the same time when it is heated at 120° C. for 20 seconds: 0.001≦SMD≦0.1  (1) −0.1≦STD≦0.1  (2) −0.05≦S45≦0.05  (3) −0.05≦S135≦0.05  (4) |S45−S135|≦0.05  (5) wherein SMD is a thermal shrinkage factor (%) in machine direction of the film under the above conditions, STD is a thermal shrinkage factor (%) in a direction perpendicular to that direction under the above conditions, and S45 and S135 are thermal shrinkage factors (%) in a 45° direction and a direction perpendicular to the 45° direction under the above conditions when the machine direction of the film is 0° and a direction perpendicular to that direction is 90°, respectively, and a production method thereof.

Abstract: A silicone adhesive film comprising (A) a biaxially oriented aromatic polyester film, and (B) a crosslinked primer layer which is present on at least one surface of the aromatic polyester film and is formed of a crosslinked polymer of (a) alkoxysilane having a functional group selected from the group consisting of an epoxy group, vinyl group and mercaptoalkyl group and (b) alkoxysilane having an amino group; a production method thereof; and a release film.

Abstract: An adherent polyester film laminate (A) having a coating layer of a composition formed on one side or both sides of a polyester film, the composition comprising, as main components, (i) an aqueous polyester having a secondary transition point of 40 to 85.degree. C. and (ii) a fatty acid bisamide; a polyester film laminate (B) having a hard coat layer formed on the coating layer of the laminate (A); and a polyester film laminate (C) having an anti-reflection layer formed on the hard coat layer of the laminate (B). Since these laminates are excellent in adhesive force, transparency and slipperiness and has an anti-reflection property, they are useful as a face surface protective material for glass and displays.

Abstract: An antistatic polyester film having formed on at least one side of a polyester film a coating layer which consists essentially of (a) 5 to 40% by weight of a phosphoric acid ester salt-based antistatic agent, (b) 1 to 20% by weight of a surfactant having an HLB value of 12 or less, (c) 40 to 90% by weight of at least one binder selected from acrylic copolymers and polyester copolymers, and (d) 3 to 25% by weight of fine particles having an average particle diameter of 10 to 500 nm and which has an extremely uniform surface. This film is excellent in anti-blocking properties at a high humidity and antistatic properties at a low humidity.

Abstract: A thermal-transfer recording sheet of an aromatic polyester film, wherein at least one surface of said sheet has, as a thermal-transfer ink receiving layer, a coating of a composition comprising (1) a copolyester, (2) a polyolefin fine particle filler and (3) an antistatic compound selected from the group consisting of organic titanate and organic zirconate. The above thermal-transfer recording sheet exhibits excellent adhesion to heat-melting inks and excellent capability of receiving heat-melting ink layers and has good antistatic properties.
