Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for forming a solder wicking prevention zone operating when a connector member with a connector is processed using molten solder, to hinder the solder from spreading to a contact site of the connector in a wettable manner. The apparatus includes a main forming agent tank which stores a main forming agent used to form the solder wicking prevention zone, an ejection nozzle which ejects the main forming agent stored in the main forming agent tank, and a direction control section which controls an ejection direction of the main forming agent ejected by the ejection nozzle. The direction control section controls the ejection direction of the main forming agent ejected by the ejection nozzle, so as to apply the main forming agent to a predetermined position on the connector member to form the solder wicking prevention zone.

Abstract: In a misregister amount detection method, printed register marks of colors are sensed, and the inverted R, G, and B image data of R, G, and B image data respectively containing R, G, and B as red, green, and blue color components of the register marks are extracted. The minimum value of the pixel values of corresponding pixels of the generated inverted R, G, and B image data is extracted and converted into the pixel value of a corresponding pixel of K image data containing K as a black color component. Differential R, G, and B image data are obtained by subtracting the pixel value of each pixel of the K image data from the pixel values of corresponding pixels of the inverted R, G, and B image data. Enhanced R, G, and B image data are obtained by adding the pixel values of pixels of the differential R, G, and B image data or values corresponding to the pixel values to the pixel values of corresponding pixels of the inverted R, G, and B image data.
