Abstract: A compressor includes: a compressor body that suctions and compresses a gas to be compressed; heat exchangers that circulate a cooled target inside the heat exchangers to cool the cooled target; a fan that is driven by a fan motor and that sends a cooling gas to the heat exchangers to remove heat; a temperature sensor that detects an initial cooling gas temperature that is a temperature of the cooling gas not having been subject to heat removing for the heat exchangers; and a control unit that is capable of setting an upper limit frequency that is an upper limit for controlling a rotational frequency of the fan motor. The control unit sets the upper limit frequency to a rotational frequency equal to or lower than a frequency at which current at an acceptable current level is supplied to the fan motor, at each of the initial cooling gas temperatures detected by the temperature sensor.

Abstract: Even when dots of ink for forming layers that constitute a three-dimensional object are reduced in size to produce a gap therebetween, the present disclosure suppresses an adverse effect caused by the gap. A control part in a manufacturing device for a three-dimensional object controls a head, such that the center of an ink droplet ejected for forming a segment layer does not overlap the center of an ink droplet that forms another segment layer immediately below, and that the ink droplet is ejected at a resolution different from the resolution of the other segment layer immediately below the segment layer being formed.

Abstract: To provide an inkjet printer and a printing method that can print a new pattern to be printed at an appropriate position relative to an existing pattern. An inkjet printer newly prints a new pattern to be printed, that is different from an existing pattern, on an outer surface of a spherical print object on which the existing pattern is printed. The inkjet printer includes a retainer that retains the print object, a carriage, and a projector. The carriage prints the new pattern to be printed on the outer surface of the print object. The projector projects at least a part of the existing pattern and the new pattern to be printed together on the outer surface of the print object retained by the retainer.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of forming, using a sublimation ink, an image that is free of outline blurring on a transfer medium even when the thickness of an ink fixation layer is increased. In order to solve this problem, a transfer film 10 is provided with a base material film 11, a transfer binder layer 12, a sublimation ink layer 13, and a mask layer 14 which is provided in a region where sublimation ink is not transferred to media 100, the transfer binder layer 12 being configured from a material which is permeated by sublimation of the sublimation ink.
