As the result of the wholwe-hearted research of present inventor, find to spray multiple China ink, when forming single pixel, according to the order of spraying China ink, the expression power difference of printed matter.For example, when spraying particular color China ink A thereon when after spraying particular color China ink A, spraying black B thereon and after spraying black B, the texture difference of printed matter.This phenomenon when spraying special China ink too.
Figure 13 is the different comparison diagram of the expression power of expression printed matter.
As special China ink, use metallic ink, as the basic colors China ink, use dye class colors of ink (CMY China ink).Metallic ink is low to the impregnability of printing paper, and China ink is bigger than colors of ink to the thickness of printing paper.In addition, the dye class colors of ink that photopermeability is high is printed on cellophane paper, also can form image on the OHP of infiltration type device etc.
In the past, shown in Figure 13 (a), the basic colors of specified metal color and heart-shaped part 410 as colouring information, is separately scribbled and is printed, so form image with method 2, specifies the overlapping of China ink, can't specify the order of spraying China ink.And in the present invention,, shown in Figure 13 (b), in heart-shaped part 410,, can cause having the color performance of light reflective by the effect that multiplies each other of basic colors and metal color owing to be that usefulness method 1 forms image.
The expression power of method 1,2 has difference on the texture of reflecting feel, specify the structure of spraying black order by having, thereby can enlarge expression power.
Like this, in the present embodiment, because by specifying the order of spraying China ink, spray multiple China ink with specified order, form single pixel, thereby can realize respectively spraying sprays the situation of black B thereon behind the black A and with its opposite situation in sequence, thus compared with the past, can realize the variation of the expression power of printed matter.
Embodiment 2
Below, embodiments of the present invention 2 are described.
Figure 14 represents to describe earlier circle, the figure when describing quadrangle thereon then.
In the present embodiment, as shown in figure 14, describe circle, cover with color A then and describe quadrangle with color B.
Printing requesting terminal 200, if form the data of describing shown in Figure 5, just generate a data bitmap to respectively describing layer, figure on the throne stores the area stores data bitmap, stores and describes number of plies M describing parameter storage area.
Figure 15 is expression bitmap storage area and the figure that describes the data structure of parameter storage area.
As its result, at the bitmap storage area of describing layer 1, shown in Figure 15 (a), to constituting each round pixel, storage colouring information " B " is at the bitmap storage area of describing layer 2, shown in Figure 15 (b), to constituting tetragonal each pixel, storage colouring information " A ".In addition, describing parameter storage area, shown in Figure 15 (c), as describing number of plies M, storage " 2 ".
Printing requesting terminal 200, generating print data, print data is being sent to printing equipment 100 successively respectively describing layer.
At printing equipment 100, if the print data of receiving, just according to the print data that receives successively, control image forming part 16 obtains printed matter.
Figure 16 is the figure of expression print result.
In print result, quadrangle and the overlapping part of circle as shown in figure 16, spray black B after, spray black A thereon, so obtain the color D that has based on the expression power of this specified order.
Other embodiments
In addition, except described embodiment 1 and 2, consider following variation.(1) Figure 17 is the quadrangle of representing to describe earlier except the part of circle, describes the figure of bowlder then thereon.In view of the above, the boundary member at quadrangle and circle obtains color C.
(2) Figure 18 represents to describe earlier circle, the figure when describing the quadrangle of part except circle then thereon.In view of the above, at the boundary member of quadrangle and circle, obtain color D.
(3) Figure 19 is the figure of expression printing step.
As shown in figure 19, also can walk abreast and form tetragonal image, form round image with black B with black A.
(4) Figure 20 is the figure that expression has stipulated to spray the table of black priority.
In the application program of not describing layer, specify when describing, as shown in figure 20,, also can be effectively each China ink be set priority and make order of the China ink that is fit to usually become default from black characteristic with particular color.
In addition, during with the priority of artificial setting China ink, can seek special-effect, assigned priority.As the object lesson under this situation, for example print white ink or golden China ink by printing earlier still the back, change expression power, so pay the title with the effect correspondence, can select black priority with the effect title at " white background ", " the gold end ".
(5) figure of describing is one, and A describes quadrangle with color, and B describes bowlder with color, and having can total last the injection or initial structure of spraying of designated color B.In addition, describing in the application program of key element with a plurality of layers of describing, describing layer 1, A describes quadrangle with color, describing layer 2, describe circle with color B, with the order specified order of " printing ", " printing " or " to describe layer order overstriking " with the anti-order of describing layer to describe layer order.
(6) specify the order of spraying China ink with application program, but be not limited thereto, also can use OS, device driver to specify.The present invention is the effect or the relation of defining application, OS, device driver not.
(7), also can be applied in printing to metal or cloth etc. not only in printing to printing paper.In addition, connecting up with ink-jet or the formation of object etc., also be effective in the ink-jet applications field.
(8) have effectively, from color A, color B and covering drawing command, the function that the zone of not smearing when spraying color A narrows down a little or adjusts with broadening.In addition, when the spreadability of the China ink of color B is high,, thereby just be difficult to form the zone of not printing word in the gap of color A and color B because the zone of not smearing when spraying color A narrows down a little.In addition, when printing, by blend color A and color B, when perspective, under the not distinct situation that becomes problem of color, enlarge China ink a little at interval the time in hope on cloth etc., it is big that the zone of not smearing when preferably spraying color A sometimes becomes a little.
