Abstract: An ink jet recording method for recording a non-water-based glitter ink on a recording medium, including forming an underlayer, in which a resin ink in which resin components are dispersed or dissolved in a dispersion medium is applied to at least a site of the recording medium on which the non-water-based glitter ink is recorded, thereby forming an underlayer, and recording a glitter ink, in which the non-water-based glitter ink is recorded on the underlayer.

Abstract: A control device is adapted to control a recording device provided with a nozzle for discharging a color ink and a nozzle for discharging an adhesive fluid. The control device is configured to generate color image data representing a color image made up from color dots formed by the color ink, to generate adhesion image data representing an adhesion image made up from adhesion dots, which are dots formed by the adhesive fluid, wherein the adhesion image data is generated such that the adhesion dots are arranged so that the adhesive fluid is applied at an amount that corresponds to the amount of the color ink applied per unit area and the adhesion dots are arranged so that, when the amount of the color ink applied per unit area is zero, the amount of the adhesive fluid applied differs between inside and outside of a region of the adhesion image.

Abstract: An ink composition, contains: an organic solvent, a metal pigment, and a resin, in which the organic solvent contains, based on the total amount of the ink composition, 60% by mass or more of diethylene glycol diethylether, 24 to 37% by mass of ?-butyrolactone and/or tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and more than 1% by mass and lower than 5% by mass of tetraethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and the 50% average particle diameter in terms of sphere determined by a light scattering method of the metal pigment is 0.8 to 1.2 ?m.

Abstract: A laminated foil manufacturing apparatus includes a transportation unit that transports a lamination target medium onto which foil is to be laminated with intermittent movement and continuous movement, a liquid adhering unit that performs adhering processing of making liquid adhere to the lamination target medium which is transported with the intermittent movement by the transportation unit, and a foil laminating unit that is arranged at a downstream side with respect to a position of the liquid adhering unit in a transportation direction of the lamination target medium which is transported with the intermittent movement, and performs foil laminating processing of laminating the foil onto a surface to which the liquid has been adhered on the lamination target medium which is transported with the continuous movement by the transportation unit after the adhering processing has been performed.
