Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [PROBLEMS] Conventionally, a calendar in which weekdays, holidays, and Saturdays are printed in different colors has been widely used, but at least three colors of printing inks are used depending on the nature of the day of the week and the date. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the position for each color, which requires a lot of time and labor for the adjustment work, and the manufacturing cost is high. SOLUTION: In a calendar in which a day of the week column and a date column are color-coded and printed according to the day of the week, a means of overprinting only a predetermined column is adopted. Then, a means of printing holidays with a red-based printing ink and Saturdays with a blue-based printing ink, and overlapping weekdays with both colors of printing ink was used. Since the predetermined columns are overprinted, the ink colors overlap only in the columns, and the colors are printed in a color close to black in appearance.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a calendar in which each weekday, holiday (Sunday, national holiday), and Saturday columns are printed with different colors, and the same printing is possible by reducing the printing colors used. .

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventionally, a calendar in which weekdays, holidays (Sunday, public holidays), and Saturday are printed in different colors has been widely used in the days of the week and dates. In the case of three-color printing, this type of calendar uses black and white for weekdays, red for holidays, and blue for Saturdays. It was completed through steps.

Therefore, in the process of printing each color, it is necessary to adjust the position for each color so that the character position does not shift due to the color, and it takes a lot of time and labor for the adjustment work. However, since it is necessary to use at least three colors of printing ink, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost becomes expensive.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and adopts a means of overprinting only predetermined columns in a calendar in which day of the week columns and date columns are color-coded for printing.

Then, more specifically, a means is used in which holidays are printed with red-based printing ink and Saturdays are printed with blue-based printing ink, and weekdays are overprinted with both colors of printing ink.

In the calendar of the present invention having the above-described structure, since the predetermined columns (for example, weekday columns) are overprinted, the ink colors are overlapped only in the columns, and the appearance is printed in a color close to black. . Further, at this time, more color classification can be realized by appropriately changing the ratio of the overlapping amount of ink. Therefore, at least two colors of ink can be printed and displayed for three colors or more.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a calendar paper printed and displayed for each month, and 12 sheets are stacked to form a set of calendars. Reference numeral 2 denotes a month display, which is printed in red, for example. Reference numeral 3 denotes a day of the week column, Sunday 3a is printed in red, Saturday 3b is printed in dark blue, and weekdays 3c from Monday to Friday are printed in red and dark blue. Therefore, on weekdays 3c, the print color is close to black in appearance. Reference numeral 4 denotes a date column, like Sunday columns, the Sunday 4a is printed in red, the Saturday 4b is printed in dark blue, and the weekday 4c is printed in red and dark blue. Also, holiday 4d is printed in red. 5 is a display column for Rokuki, Twenty-four Kiseki, etc., printed in dark blue.

Next, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the overlapping of print colors. The upper and middle tiers show single-color printing of red and navy blue, respectively, and the lower tier shows the overlapping state. That is, the month display, which is printed in a single color, Sunday (holiday) and Saturday, the day of the week, and the date (the numbers "1" and "3" in the figure) are the same print colors, but two colors of red and navy are overlaid. The printed weekday days and dates (the number "2" in the figure) are mixed and displayed as a print color that is closer to black. Therefore, in the above example, it is possible to construct a calendar in which two colors of printing ink, red and navy, are printed in three colors including black in appearance.

Further, it is possible to change the printing color by appropriately adjusting the amount of each color ink. That is, for example, in the display column such as Rokuki, a dark blue color can be obtained by changing the ratio of the amount of superposition, and four or more colors can be color-coded and printed in appearance.

The colors of the printing inks to be used are not limited to red and dark blue, but may be any combination as long as they are overprinted and become a color close to black. For example, there are red-based printing inks such as red, gold red, crimson, and vermilion, and blue-based printing inks such as navy blue, indigo, blue, and purple, green-based printing inks such as green, and brown-based printing inks such as brown and dark brown. Any combination of Further, in the above embodiment, the weekday days and date portions are printed and displayed by overlay printing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and Sunday or Saturday days and date portions may be overlay printed. Furthermore, the above example shows an example in which at least three colors of color printing are mainly performed by using two colors of printing ink, but by printing each of them with three or more colors of printing ink, more Of course, it is also possible to print in different colors.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the predetermined columns of the calendar are overprinted so that they can be displayed in a new print color. The above color-coded display has become possible, saving printing ink and simplifying the printing process. As a result, it has become possible to provide color-coded calendars at a much lower cost than in the past.
