    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a head capable of discharging CMYK inks including a K ink, and a control unit configured to, based on image data to be printed, generate ink amount data for controlling an ink amount of each of the CMYK inks discharged by the head, and to control the head based on the ink amount data, wherein the control unit generates the ink amount data as ink amount data such that lightness of a composite color at least does not increase in a direction from a freely-selected coordinate point toward a black point, the composite color being formed by the CMY inks excluding the K ink based on ink amount data of each of the CMYK inks corresponding to a coordinate on a straight line from the freely-selected coordinate point toward the black point in a predetermined hue range of a color gamut of a color space of the image data.

    Abstract: When a known lid member was merely applied to a bottle that contains ink, there was room for improvement in terms of the operation of the lid member and the way how to bring attention to the handling thereof.A bottle set is provided that includes: a bottle that includes an ink container that contains ink, and an outflow port through which the ink in the ink container flows out to the outside; and a lid member that is configured to attach to and detach from the bottle, and is configured to cover the outflow port in a state of being attached to the bottle. The lid member includes a colored portion that has optical transparency and is colored with a color corresponding to a type of the ink contained in the ink container in at least a portion of the lid member.

    Abstract: A printer includes a liquid ejection section and a drive control section. The liquid ejection section is configured to eject a plurality of types of liquids and form dots having different sizes. The drive control section is configured to control a dot size of the liquids to be ejected by the liquid ejection section based on image data. When an image including a three-dimensional image in which a plurality of linear images are arrayed is printed on a medium, the liquid ejection section is configured to eject the liquids, at least in an end section area in an array direction of the linear images in a print area of the image, under a setting in which an ejection ratio of relatively small dots is set lower than in an inner area that is positioned more inward than the end section area.

    Abstract: A print apparatus performing printing on a print medium that includes a lenticular lens and an ink absorption layer that absorbs ink includes a print head that ejects a plurality of types of ink and a control section that controls the driving of the print head. In the print apparatus, in a case in which at least one type of ink among the plurality of types of ink is ink the visibility of which is reduced when the ink is absorbed in the ink absorption layer, the control section controls ink different from the ink the visibility of which is reduced has been ejected before the ink the visibility of which is reduced dries when the ink the visibility of which is reduced is ejected on the side opposite to the mounting side of the lenticular lens in the print medium from the print head.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus that forms an output image including an authentication image for authenticity determination on a medium. The image forming apparatus includes: a recording head configured to discharge a droplet onto the medium; a drive unit configured to perform main scanning in which the recording head moves in a main scanning direction and sub scanning in which the medium is fed in a feeding direction; and a control unit configured to control, based on image formation data representing the output image, the main scanning and the sub scanning performed by the drive unit, and the discharge of the droplet performed by the recording head. The control unit performs a control to form the authentication image by a plurality of times of the main scanning in which feeding positions of the medium in the feeding direction are different, and performs a control so that at least one feeding amount of the medium in one sub scanning is different between a feeding amount at time of forming the authentication image and a feeding amount at time of forming a portion of the output image that does not include the authentication image.
