Abstract: A temperature control method of controlling a temperature of a semiconductor wafer mounted on a mounting table includes a supply process of supplying, in a state that a supply of a power to a heater configured to heat the mounting table is stopped or the power is maintained to be constant, a heat transfer gas into a gap between the semiconductor wafer and the mounting table; a measurement process of measuring a temperature variation of the mounting table due to heat exchange between the semiconductor wafer and the mounting table through the heat transfer gas; a calculation process of calculating a correction value based on the temperature variation of the mounting table; and a control process of starting the supply of the power and controlling the power such that the temperature of the mounting table reaches a target temperature corrected with the correction value.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus including an image forming unit and a fixing unit; a folding processing portion; a pressure-bonding portion; and an input portion capable of selecting a pressure-bonding mode in which a pressure-bonding print prepared by subjecting the recording material to pressure-bonding processing by the folding processing portion and the pressure-bonding portion and capable of selecting a layout of the toner image formed on the recording material. When the pressure-bonding mode is selected, the layout depending on the pressure-bonding mode is selected.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus including a fixing unit, a folding processing portion, and a pressure-bonding portion. A first recording material having a first basis weight is fixed at a first temperature by the fixing unit and then is pressure-bonded by the pressure-bonding portion after a lapse of a first period. A second recording material having a second basis weight is fixed at a second temperature by the fixing unit and then is pressure-bonded by the pressure-bonding portion after a lapse of a second period. The second basis weight is larger than the first basis weight. The second temperature is higher than the first temperature. The second period is longer than the first period.

Abstract: A plate-making method for manufacturing a printing plate includes: manufacturing the printing plate based on a knockout method in which knockouts of halftone dots in one color are formed, and halftone dots in the other color are overprinted onto positions of the knockouts; for each of pixels, when a sum of a halftone dot area ratio of the one color and a halftone dot area ratio of the other color is smaller than 100%, forming a gap from a knockout in the one color around a halftone dot in the other color; and for each of pixels, when the sum of the halftone dot area ratio of the one color and the halftone dot area ratio of the other color is greater than 100%, forming an overmask such that the halftone dot in the other color penetrates a periphery of the halftone dot in the one color.

Abstract: There is provided a plate-making method for manufacturing printing plates capable of representing colors by overprinting halftone dots in at least three colors of a plurality of process colors. The plate-making method includes: overprinting two colors of the at least three colors by a knockout method in which knockouts of halftone dots in one color of the two colors are formed, and halftone dots in the other color are overprinted onto positions of the knockouts; and overprinting a remaining color of the at least three colors onto the two colors by an overprint method in which at least part of halftone dots in the remaining color is put on the halftone dots in the one color and/or the halftone dots in the other color. The remaining color includes at least white.

Abstract: A printing apparatus configured to print a can body includes: a plurality of printing plates; a blanket; a blanket transfer device configured to transfer inks on the plurality of printing plates to the blanket; and a can body transfer device configured to transfer the inks transferred to the blanket to the can body. The blanket transfer device transfers the inks such that at least part of an ink transferred from one printing plate is superimposed onto at least part of inks in other colors transferred from other printing plates.

Abstract: A printing apparatus configured to print an image on a can body includes: a blanket transfer device configured to transfer ink on a plurality of printing plates to a blanket; and a can body transfer device configured to transfer the ink having been transferred on the blanket to the can body to print the image on the can body.
