Abstract: A recorded matter recorded on a recording medium includes a first layer formed by an ink A on or above the recording medium, the first layer having an index of refraction A; a second layer formed by an ink B on the first layer formed by the ink B, the second layer having an index of refraction B (where B<A); and a third layer formed by an ink C or by a transparent resin material on the second layer, the third layer having an index of refraction C (where C>A) and forming a surface layer of the recorded matter.

Abstract: When recording is performed using two different types of inks, the ink discharge order is controlled in a unit region on a recording medium so that the number of pixel regions in which an ink having a relatively high pH buffer capacity in a basic region is applied later is larger than the number of pixel regions in which an ink having a relatively low pH buffer capacity in a basic region is applied later.

Abstract: When the contact angle of a first color ink on a layer of a second color ink is larger than the contact angle of the second color ink on a layer of the first color ink, ejection of the first and the second color ink is controlled so that the number of pixel areas onto which the second color ink is applied after the first color ink is larger than the number of pixel areas onto which the first color ink is applied after the second color ink.

Abstract: An ink containing a plurality of coloring materials having different hues, wherein the bronze value B, which is calculated from tristimulus values of reflected light, of illumination in the direction of an angle of 45 degrees to a normal to the image, in the direction of specular reflection and tristimulus values of illumination light under the same condition of the illumination by using Formula 1, with respect to a predetermined recorded image recorded by the above-described ink is 2.0 or less.

Abstract: An inkjet printing device having a print head that ejects a plurality of types of inks has: an ejection unit configured to, on the basis of ejection data that scans the print head a plurality of times to eject the inks from the print head to a predetermined area of a print medium, eject the inks to print an image; wherein the inks are classified into a first ink having a relatively large contact angle and a second ink having a relatively small contact angle, and wherein the ejection data is ejection data that, if a difference in application amount between the first ink and the second ink to be ejected to the predetermined area by the ejection unit is larger than a predetermined value, increases a ratio at which an ink having a smaller application amount is ejected in last half scans among the plurality of times of scans.

Abstract: A printing apparatus and an inkjet printing method are provided that can a high-quality image without uneven glossiness and the like, without increasing the consumption of treatment liquid. The number of times of scans for applying treatment liquid to an image formed by a group of pigment inks with a large contact angle relative to treatment liquid is made to be smaller than the number of time of scans for applying treatment liquid to an image formed by a group of pigment inks with a small contact angle relative to treatment liquid.

Abstract: An inkjet printing apparatus includes a print head that scans a same area of a printing medium plural times and ejects plural kinds of ink and a treatment liquid thereon to form an image, and an ejection data generating unit for generating ejection data for ejecting the plural kinds of ink and the treatment liquid to each predetermined area of the printing medium in a predetermined order from the print head. The plural kinds of ink are classified in plurality based upon a minimum application amount of the treatment liquid per a predetermined area required for realizing an effect of the treatment liquid, and the ejection data generating unit generates the ejection data in such a manner as to eject the plural kinds of ink and the treatment liquid from the print head according to the order determined in accordance with the classification of the ink ejected within the predetermined area.

Abstract: The present invention has an object of providing an inkjet printing apparatus which can improve image performance while restricting an ink consumption amount of a treatment liquid. The present invention generates ejection data for ejecting the plural kinds of the ink and the treatment liquid to each predetermined area of a printing medium in a predetermined order from the print head. The plural kinds of the ink is classified in plurality based upon a minimum application amount of the treatment liquid per a predetermined area required for realizing an effect of the treatment liquid. Ejection data generating unit generates the ejection data in such a manner as to eject the plural kinds of the ink and the treatment liquid from the print head according to the order determined in accordance with the classification of the ink ejected within the predetermined area.
