Abstract: An offset number setting device that freely and easily sets an offset number for a tool to be mounted on a tool holder of a turret surface. A display linkage unit displays a turret surface selection screen on a display, displays a tool holder selection screen on the display by selecting the turret surface, and displays an offset number setting screen on the display by selecting the tool holder. An offset number is therefore set for the tool along with the selection of the turret surface on which the tool is mounted.

Abstract: A first driving force transmission part is disposed between an attachment part turning transmission shaft and a tool attachment part. The first driving force transmission part transmits rotary driving force from a side of the attachment part turning transmission shaft to the side of the first turning driving force transmission shaft, and includes a groove, a tenon shaped protrusion, and protrusions. The groove is formed on a tip of a slide shaft of the attachment part turning transmission shaft. The tenon shaped protrusion is formed in the first turning driving force transmission shaft and detachably engages with the groove. The protrusions once releases an engaging posture by pressing the groove that is biased to the engaging posture in an disengaging state when the tool is in the middle of the movement to a predetermined position.

Abstract: When sub-images are sequentially transferred and connected together to form a larger image than would be possible with a single transfer operation, the occurrence of a color change in the overlapping region of the sub-images is suppressed and the width of the overlapping region is reduced as much as possible. Color image data are divided into image data of two sub-images containing an overlapping region and having edges that coincide for each color ink transferred to paper. Color values of the color image data in the overlapping region are converted by using a color conversion factor group created in advance for each position on the overlapping region so as to cancel out a color change that occurs in the overlapping region when the sub-images are transferred with one overlapping the other. The image data of the sub-images are corrected by adjusting converted color values in the overlapping region by using a correction factor for print density at each position on the overlapping region.
