Abstract

L'invention concerne une image formée en étoile (201) formée sur une couche de revêtement de base (BL). En outre, une partie d'encre claire (301) est disposée de façon à être le long d'un contour de l'image formée en étoile (201). La fourniture de la partie d'encre claire (301) le long du contour de l'image formée (201) empêche l'encre constituant l'image formée (201) de se déplacer vers le côté de l'image formée (201). Ainsi, l'étalement (déplacement) de l'encre se produit à peine, et le contour de l'image formée (201) ne devient pas flou.
