  • Publication number: 20240004593
    Abstract: An image processing device performs, multiple times a candidate displaying process of displaying one or more candidate images on a display, each of the one or more candidate images being a candidate of the print image, and an evaluation obtaining process of obtaining image evaluation information representing evaluation of each of the one or more candidate images displayed on the display, the image evaluation information being information based on a user input. In the candidate displaying process performed a second time or later is a process of determining the one or more candidate images based on the image evaluation information and displaying the same on the display. The image processing device determines the print image based on at least part of a multiple candidate images and at least part of multiple pieces of the image evaluation information.

  • Patent number: 11090234
    Abstract: Provided is a product exhibiting good bubbles even from a screen foamer composition using a non-ionic surfactant. This foam contains a non-ionic surfactant and is composed of an air layer and a bubble shell encapsulating the air layer. The bubble shell has a high light transmission region which is optically transparent and a low light transmission region which is less optically transparent than the highlight transmission region, both regions being disposed so as to spread across a surface of the bubble shell in such a manner as to form an identifiable boundary therebetween; and when the foam is allowed to stand at 25° C., an area of the low light transmission region occupying the surface area of the bubble shell expands over time, and thus the entire surface of the bubble shell becomes occupied by the low light transmission region.
