Abstract: A filter manufacturing apparatus includes a printing cell setting unit that sets, based on a predetermined filter pitch and a head resolution, printing cells having an equal number of dot areas in the direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the printing medium, a shift amount calculating unit that calculates shift amounts between the filter pitch and the printing cells in the direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the printing medium, a shift amount determining unit that determines whether shift amounts of the printing cells exceed a unit dot area; and a printing cell complementing unit that complements the shift amounts of the printing cells exceeding the unit dot area by adjusting the number of dot areas included in the printing cells.

Abstract: The present invention provides a printer and printing method that forms a lenticular lens or a transparent structure based on pseudo-embossment printing or the like on paper having penetrability, and an inkjet printer performs: with respect to a base material having a characteristic of being penetrated by radiation-curable ink, an undercoating step of using radiation-curable transparent ink to form a thin undercoat layer; an undercoat curing step of irradiating the formed undercoat layer with radiation to completely solidify the thrilled undercoat layer; a transparent structure forming step of using the radiation-curable transparent ink to form a spacer layer and microlens layer as a desired transparent structure on the solidified undercoat layer; and a transparent structure curing step of afterward further irradiating the radiation to cure the formed spacer layer and microlens layer.
