Abstract
Provided is a metallic image forming method by which a metallic image that assumes sufficient metallic feeling can be acquired. The metallic image forming method is a method of forming a metallic image on a recording medium through use of an ink containing metal particles and includes an ink application step of applying an ink onto a recording medium having an underlayer formed thereon such that the ink overlaps at least a part of the underlayer, the underlayer having a black color or an opposite color with respect to diffusion light of the ink.
Claims21
A metallic image forming method comprising:
- preparing an ink containing metal particles;
- preparing a recording medium having an underlayer having one of (i) a black color for absorbing diffusion light of the metal particles and (ii) an opposite color with respect to diffusion light of the metal particles for cancelling the diffusion light of the metal particles;
- and
- printing with the ink onto the recording medium such that the ink overlaps at least a part of the underlayer to form a metallic image having a metallic hue derived from the metal particles.
