Abstract: A printed matter exhibiting metallic gloss is provided and includes: a substrate; and a metallic glossy layer, being formed on the substrate, and the metallic glossy layer containing scaly particles having a metal. In the metallic glossy layer, the scaly particles are oriented to be substantially parallel to a surface of the metallic glossy layer; and the surface of the metallic glossy layer has a DOI value of greater than or equal to 20% and a Sa value of less than or equal to 2 ?m.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for a printed matter exhibiting metallic gloss includes an applying step of applying an ink composition onto a substrate in a form of a droplet by an inkjet method, and the ink composition containing an external stimulus film-forming resin that forms a film by an external stimulus including radiation or heat, and scaly particles containing a metal; a standby step of providing a predetermined standby time to bring the scaly particles close to a surface of the droplet and orient the scaly particles to be substantially parallel to the surface; and a film forming step of forming the film by applying the external stimulus to the ink composition after the standby step to form a metallic glossy layer exhibiting metallic gloss.

Abstract: A multilayered body includes a base material with a metal tone glossy layer having metal tone glossiness, and a color layer layered on the metal tone glossy layer. The color layer has an arithmetic mean height and a transmission density located in a region below a straight line represented as (y=?0.1067x+0.8) on coordinates of the arithmetic mean height x and the transmission density y.

Abstract: An inkjet printer includes an inkjet head that ejects ink droplets, and a sub tank that stores an ink to be supplied to the inkjet head, where the sub tank is provided with an ink outflow port through which the ink flows out from the sub tank, and an ink inflow port through which the ink that flowed out from the ink outflow port and passed through a predetermined circulation path flows toward the sub tank. In the inkjet printer, the ink is flowed out from the ink inflow port and the ink that passed through the circulation path is flowed into the sub tank from the ink outflow port at a predetermined timing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a spinel powder obtained by mixing a magnesia raw-material with an electrically fused alumina, followed by firing of the mixture. The particles of the spinel powder are coated with granular spinel particles. Therefore, there are provided a spinel powder and a simple method for producing the same, which is superior in thermal spraying property and has a unique particle shape. In particular, there is provided a method for producing a spinel powder which contributes to a reduction in the variation of characteristics of sensors, for example, as a thermal spraying powder for forming a protective coating of a gas sensor element.
