Abstract:
Printing apparatus includes: a printer (thin-film carrier, conveyer, and droplet discharger) printing on a thin film by discharging, while shifting thin film in first direction, droplets containing a functional component from a plurality of positions differing from each other in second direction; and a print uniformity controller (print controller and position switcher) performing the printing for a plurality of times, by using the printer and changing position and/or orientation of thin film relative to the plurality of positions.
Abstract:
A method of producing an adhesive sheet for skin includes attaching a water-absorptive support to a water-permeable biocompatible film to prepare a stack including the biocompatible film and the support, applying an aqueous ink including water and a functional material to the biocompatible film side of the stack thereby to fix the functional material to the biocompatible film, and separating the biocompatible film having the functional material fixed thereto from the support. An adhesive sheet for skin comprises a water-permeable biocompatible film to which an aqueous ink including water and a functional material has been applied and fixed and a water-absorptive support detachably attached to the biocompatible film.
Abstract:
A cosmetic sheet to be attached to a skin includes a thin film, one surface of which is to be attached to a skin, a complementary color layer used for obscuring a discolored portion of the skin, the complementary color layer being disposed on the thin film and containing a colorant complementary to a color of the discolored portion, a light-scattering layer disposed on the complementary color layer and containing a reflective material; a coloring layer disposed on the light-scattering layer and containing a colorant; and a glossy layer disposed on the coloring layer and containing a gloss agent.
Abstract:
There are provided a cosmetic sheet that obscures a discolored portion of the skin and a method for producing the cosmetic sheet. There are also provided an image-processing apparatus and an image-processing method for producing the sheet. The cosmetic sheet is put on a discolored portion of the skin. The cosmetic sheet includes a thin film, one surface of which is to be put on the skin, a complementary color layer placed on the other surface of the thin film and having a color tone complementary to the color of the discolored portion, a light scattering layer placed on the complementary color layer and containing a reflective material, and a coloring layer placed on the light scattering layer and containing a coloring material.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an image acquirer that acquires a first skin image obtained by capturing an image of a skin at a first timing and a second skin image obtained by capturing an image of the skin at a second timing later than the first timing, an image analyzer that extracts a first discolored area from a first skin image and extracts a color of the skin from the second skin image, an image determiner that determines a cover area within the second skin image based on the first discolored area and determines a color of the cover area based on the color of the skin, and a print controller that generates image data with a content for printing an image of the determined cover area on the sheet by using a coloring material of the determined color.
Abstract:
An inkjet printing ink according to the present disclosure contains a pigment, acrylic particles, an alcohol, and water. The alcohol contains at least a trihydric alcohol. A ratio of an amount of the alcohol to a whole mass of the inkjet printing ink is 30% by mass or less. A ratio of an amount of the acrylic particles to a mass of the pigment is 5% by mass to 100% by mass. Further, the inkjet printing ink has negative skin irritation.
Abstract:
A transfer device is provided for transferring, to an adherend, a thin-film to which a functional material adheres, the transfer device including a plurality of rollers for providing a rotating function, and an endless belt installed on the plurality of rollers, wherein, on the endless belt, the transfer device retains the thin-film with a surface of the thin-film to which the functional material adheres being in contact with the endless belt, and the transfer device transfers the thin-film to the adherend so that a surface opposite a surface of the thin-film to which the functional material adheres is in contact with the adherend. This configuration allows an ultrathin thin-film to be simply transferred to the adherend such as a human body without damage to the thin-film, the thin-film having the adhered functional material and requiring careful handling.
