Abstract: An ink is used for forming a photothermal conversion layer used for causing expansion of at least a portion of a thermal expansion layer of a thermally-expandable sheet. The ink includes an inorganic infrared absorbing agent having a higher absorptivity in at least one region of an infrared light spectrum than in a visible light spectrum. A base of the ink is white.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a three-dimensional image, the apparatus including a cartridge that stores ink which a printing head discharges and which has a photothermal conversion property; a conveying unit that conveys a thermally expandable material so as to pass the thermally expandable material through a first position where the printing head faces and so as to form an image on the thermally expandable material with the ink discharged by the printing head; and a light irradiating unit that emits light toward a second position which is in a downstream side from the first position in a conveying path of the conveying unit, so as to perform photothermal conversion. The cartridge is disposed at a position which deviates from an extending line of an irradiation path of the light irradiation unit.

Abstract: A method for producing a three dimensional (3D) image formation object as a specific product using a thermally expandable sheet on which an intended 3D image is formed is described. The method sets first and second regions with a first processing line as a borderline on the first side, forms a first image for obtaining a 3D image in the first region, prints information on the second region, processes the 3D image formation sheet to fold the sheet along the first processing line, and adheres a third region which is on a second side of the 3D image formation sheet and corresponding to the second region and a fourth region which is on the second side of and corresponding to the fourth region to each other. This completes the 3D image formation object in which the first and second regions have a front/back relationship.
