Abstract: There is provided an inkjet printing device, which is provided with a holding unit that is used to hold a substrate to be subjected to printing operation, and an inkjet head that ejects ink onto the substrate held by the holding unit. The holding unit is movable between a first posture which allows the inkjet head to eject the ink onto the substrate held by the holding unit and a second posture in which the substrate is loaded onto the holding unit.

Abstract: An inkjet type fabric printing apparatus is provided with an inkjet head, a platen and a positioning member. The inkjet head reciprocally moves in main scanning direction and auxiliary scanning direction relative to a fabric (e.g., clothes). The platen holds the fabric to extend on a plane parallel with the main scanning direction and the auxiliary scanning direction with a first predetermined distance spaced from the inkjet head. On the positioning member, the fabric is set. The fabric is positioned on the platen in place in a direction parallel with the main scanning direction and the auxiliary scanning direction. The positioning member supports at least one of a neck portion and a shoulder portion of the fabric such that the neck portion and/or a shoulder portion is spaced from the inkjet head by a second predetermined distance.

Abstract: An image formation control system including an input system that is adapted to input instruction signals concerning a vividness enhancement target color of image signals from a user, and a vividness enhancement processing system that is adapted to apply a vividness enhancement process by converting at least one first area of a color space concerning the image signals to a single vividness enhancement target color corresponding to each first area according to the instruction signals from the user input through the input system, and by determining a second area which is the remaining area of the color space wherein the vividness enhancement process is not applied is provided. The image signals processed with the vividness enhancement process are converted to output data for a printer.

Abstract: A print/embroidery data creating device is provided with a usable color designating system, an output information setting system, a pixel examining system, an area setting system that sets a pixel area determined to correspond to the usable color as a usable color area and sets an area which does not correspond to the usable color area as a print area, an embroidery data creating system. The usable color area is output with the size set by the output information setting system at the position set by the output information setting system by the embroidering machine, and a print data creating system that creates print data such that a pixel area set as the print area by the area setting system is output as printed area with a color corresponding to the pixel color, the print area being output with the size set by the output information setting system at the position set by the output information setting system by the printer.

Abstract: An inkjet recording device is provided with a first ejecting system that operates to eject at least one ink whose color has a maximum L* value among the plurality of inks onto one or a predetermined number of lines on the substrate at a time, a second ejecting system that operates to eject at least an ink whose color has a minimum L* value among the plurality of inks, the second ejecting system ejecting inks which are not ejected by the first ejecting system onto the same lines, onto which the first ejecting system has ejected the at least one ink whose color has the maximum L* value, at a time, and a controlling system that controls the first ejecting system and the second ejecting system such that the first ejecting system operates a predetermined period after the first ejecting system has operated.

Abstract: A fabric printing device contains a supporting section on which a fabric can be installed and removed, having a supporting face for supporting an installed fabric from below; and an ink emitting section for emitting ink onto the fabric on said supporting face. The supporting section has a section in which the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in the central region of said supporting face is greater than the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in regions in the vicinity of the respective end sections of said supporting face in at least one direction thereof.

Abstract: The product value of fabric can be increased by changing the texture of the surface of the fabric. On the fabric, provided is an embroidered region that is embroidered by means of embroidery threads is provided on the fabric, and the embroidered region is heated while applying pressure in such a manner that it undergoes an irreversible change. Thereby, after returning to room temperature, the fabric has a different texture, in terms of luster, or the like, from that prior to heating.

Abstract: A printing device contains a printing medium supporting member having a supporting face for supporting a printing medium; a screen plate fitting detachably onto said supporting face in a state where the printing medium is sandwiched between said screen plate and said supporting face of said printing medium supporting member; and an ink emission section for emitting ink onto the printing medium on said supporting face. A printing system has the printing device described above, and ink color determining means for setting the color of the ink used in printing by means of said screen plate to a lighter color than the ink used in printing by means of said ink emission section. A printing method contains the step of screen printing for printing onto a printing medium by means of a screen plate, and the step of ink emitting for emitting ink of a darker color than the ink used in said screen printing step, onto the screen printed region, from an ink emission section.

Abstract: A printing device, which allows reductions in weight and space while ensuring excellent stability of the device, has a medium conveyance section on which a workpiece such as a fabric can be set in position, a fixed side structure for supporting same, and a head for performing printing onto the workpiece. When the power supply to the device is switched off, the medium conveyance section is positioned so as to be contained within the length of the fixed side structure, in the direction of movement of the medium conveyance section (storage position). When a workpiece is set in position on, or removed from, the medium conveyance section, the medium conveyance section is positioned so as to project partially to one side from the length of the fixed side structure (workpiece setting and removing position).
