Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ink jet recording apparatus and a computer program for controlling the ink jet recording apparatus.
- an ink jet recording apparatus that forms a flat image on a recording medium.
- an ink jet recording apparatus has been proposed that forms a three-dimensional image raised from the surface of a recording medium by laminating planar images.
- this type of ink jet recording apparatus is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below.
- This ink jet recording apparatus repeatedly executes discharge of ultraviolet curable ink and irradiation of ultraviolet light. Thereby, a cured ink layer (hereinafter referred to as a cured layer) is sequentially laminated on the recording medium, and a three-dimensional image is formed.
- the ink jet recording apparatus performs ink ejection and ultraviolet irradiation while moving the recording head in the left-right direction. Each time the recording head moves in the left-right direction, the recording medium is transported forward by a predetermined transport amount. Then, one cured layer is formed over the entire recording medium. When the hardened layer is formed, the recording medium is pulled back. Thereafter, similarly, a new cured layer is formed on the cured layer. In the ink jet recording apparatus, the same operation is repeated until a predetermined number of hardened layers are stacked.
- the recording medium is transported forward by a predetermined transport amount each time the recording head moves in the left-right direction. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes a long time to form a stereoscopic image. Further, the recording medium needs to be pulled back by the same number as the number of hardened layers. At that time, there is a problem that errors in the pull-back position are accumulated, and the positional shift of each cured layer is likely to occur. In addition, before the next hardened layer is formed, dust existing around easily adheres to the already formed hardened layer. For this reason, the image quality of the stereoscopic image tends to deteriorate.

- the transparent ink D2 is ejected and cured (FIG. 6B).
- the transparent ink D3 is discharged and cured (see FIG.
- the recording head 122b is provided with three nozzles 125 arranged in the front-rear direction.

- the first to third hardened layers L1 to L3 can also be formed by such a method.
- the conveyance amount in the first printing is 1/3 of the conveyance amount in the second printing, and is smaller than the conveyance amount in the second printing.
- the “conveyance amount” is a conveyance amount per time when the recording medium WK is intermittently conveyed. The ejection and curing of the transparent ink are not necessarily performed in a state where the recording medium WK is stopped, and may be performed while the recording medium WK is moving forward.
- step S108 the controller 130c of the controller 130 pulls back the recording medium WK in step S108.
- the process of step S108 is the same as that of step S104. Therefore, the description of step S108 is omitted.
- step S108 the recording medium WK is returned to the initial position.
- the second control unit 130b of the controller 130 executes the second printing in step S110.
- the discharged transparent ink is cured after a predetermined time T (here, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the transparent ink was discharged from the recording head 122b. That is, in the second printing, the transparent ink ejected from the recording head 122b is cured when a time longer than the time required for the transparent ink to cure in the first printing has elapsed.
- the second control unit 130b moves the recording head unit 120 in the left-right direction while conveying the recording medium WK forward.
- the recording head 122b ejects transparent ink onto the cured layer L, and the second irradiation device 12 irradiates ultraviolet rays. Specifically, the recording head 122b ejects transparent ink both when the recording head unit 120 is moving leftward and while it is moving rightward.
- the first irradiation device 11 is turned off and does not emit ultraviolet rays.
- the transparent ink adhered on the cured layer L is cured by the second irradiation device 12 after the recording medium WK is conveyed forward by a predetermined conveyance amount J.
- the transparent ink is cured later than in the first printing.
- the transparent ink discharged from the recording head 122b in the process of moving the recording head unit 120 in the left direction is irradiated with ultraviolet rays after about 15 seconds in the process of moving the recording head unit 120 in the right direction.
- Harden. Therefore, the transparent ink is cured after spreading around.
- the transparent inks are hardened after being mixed and substantially integrated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5D, the surface SL of the hardened layer LL is a surface with small unevenness.
- the surface SL is a so-called glossy surface with a large gloss.
- the recording head unit 120 rotates one turn leftward or rightward, that is, each time the recording head unit 120 reciprocates 0.5 times, the recording medium WK is transported forward by a predetermined transport amount J to perform the second printing. repeat.
- the number of times the recording head unit 120 reciprocates during the carry amount J is not limited to 0.5. It is possible to change according to the required thickness of the hardened layer LL so that the number of times is smaller than the number of times the recording head unit 120 reciprocates in the first printing.
- the surface SL of the hardened layer LL formed by the second printing is glossy, but the surface of the hardened layer L3 inside thereof is matte. For this reason, there is a concern about the appearance of the image G observed through the transparent ink.
- the inventor of the present application observes that the image G is glossy if the surface SL of the hardened layer LL covering the hardened layer L3 is glossy. I found. That is, it has been found that the whole transparent ink brings glossiness and a glossy image G can be obtained.
- the present embodiment is based on the above knowledge obtained by the present inventor.
- step S110 the three-dimensional printing ends.
- a glossy convex coating layer C is formed on the image G of the recording medium WK.
- the transparent ink is ejected and cured a plurality of times to form a plurality of cured layers L1 to L3. Since the recording medium WK is not pulled back every time when each of the hardened layers L1 to L3 is formed, the time required for forming a stereoscopic image can be shortened. Further, misalignment of the hardened layers L1 to L3 hardly occurs. Furthermore, there is a low risk that dust existing around will adhere to the already formed hardened layer before the next hardened layer is formed. Therefore, the possibility that the image quality is lowered is low. According to the inkjet printer 100, it is possible to quickly form a high-quality three-dimensional image having a glossy feeling.
- the transparent ink adhering to the recording medium WK or the cured layer is cured before it sufficiently spreads around.
- the transparent ink is cured while maintaining a relatively granular state. Therefore, the thickness of the cured layer L can be sufficiently increased with a relatively small amount of ink. Moreover, the hardened layer L of predetermined thickness can be formed rapidly.
- the cured layer L formed by the first printing is thicker than the cured layer LL formed by the second printing.
- the thickness of the cured layer L formed by the first printing can be adjusted as appropriate by adjusting the number of times the transparent ink is discharged and cured during the first printing. Therefore, according to the inkjet printer 100, the thickness of the stereoscopic image can be easily adjusted.
- the thickness of the cured layer L formed by the first printing can be made equal to or less than the thickness of the cured layer LL formed by the second printing.
- the number of times of ejection and curing of ink per predetermined conveyance amount (for example, 1 inch) of the recording medium WK is larger in the first printing than in the second printing. As a result, a stereoscopic image can be efficiently formed during the first printing.
- the cured layer LL formed by the second printing covers the cured layer L formed by the first printing. That is, the printing range for the recording medium WK is larger in the second printing than in the first printing. Thereby, it is possible to obtain a high-quality image having a glossy feeling.
- the printing range for the recording medium WK is larger in the second printing than in the first printing.
- the hardened layer L bulging upward is formed only on a part of the recording medium WK, The entire surface of the recording medium WK can be covered with a glossy surface SL.

Abstract
Description
(インクジェットプリンタの構成)
以下、本発明に係るインクジェット式記録装置の一実施形態として、インクジェットプリンタ100について説明する。図1は、インクジェットプリンタ100の斜視図である。図2は、インクジェットプリンタ100の制御システムのブロック図である。
次に、インクジェットプリンタ100の動作を説明する。始めにユーザは、インクジェットプリンタ100およびコンピュータ133の電源をオンする。次に、ユーザは、コンピュータ133に所定のプログラムを実行させる。これにより、コンピュータ133は、ユーザからの入力を待つ待機状態となる。インクジェットプリンタ100は、電源がオンされると、コントローラ130のROMに予め記憶されているプログラムを実行する。これにより、コントローラ130は、コンピュータ133からの命令を待つ待機状態となる。
インクジェットプリンタ100によれば、第1の印刷時に、透明インクの吐出および硬化を複数回行い、複数の硬化層L1~L3を形成する。各硬化層L1~L3を形成する度に記録媒体WKを引き戻す訳ではないので、立体画像の形成に要する時間を短縮することができる。また、硬化層L1~L3の位置ずれが生じにくい。さらにまた、次の硬化層を形成するまでの間に、周囲に存在する塵埃が既に形成された硬化層の上に付着するおそれが小さい。そのため、画質が低下する可能性が低い。インクジェットプリンタ100によれば、光沢感のある良質の立体画像を迅速に形成することが可能となる。
実施形態2に係るインクジェットプリンタ100は、ユーザの選択により、少なくとも以下の3種類の印刷モードによる印刷が可能である。第1の印刷モードは、印刷面の凹凸が大きい印刷を行うモードである。第1の印刷モードを選択することにより、マット調の画像が得られる。第2の印刷モードは、印刷面の凹凸が小さい印刷を行うモードである。第2の印刷モードを選択することにより、グロス調の画像が得られる。第3の印刷モードは、前述の立体印刷を行うモードである。第3の印刷モードを選択することにより、グロス調の立体画像が得られる。以下では、画像Gが形成された記録媒体WKを対象として、上記第1~第3の印刷モードにより、画像Gの上に透明インクを印刷する場合について説明する。
