Abstract
An image forming method includes supplying powder having metallic luster on a resin image arranged on a recording medium, wherein a color value of the resin image and a color value of the powder on the recording medium satisfy the following Equation (1): {(L*p−L*i−40)2+(a*p−a*i)2+(b*p−b*i)2}1/2≤20 (1) wherein L*p, a*p, and b*p represent color values of the powder, and L*i, a*i, and b*i represent color values of the resin image on the recording medium.
Claims11
An image forming method comprising
- supplying powder having metallic luster on a resin image arranged on a recording medium,
- wherein a color value of the resin image and a color value of the powder on the recording medium satisfy the following Equation (1):
- {(L*p−L*i−40)2+(a*p−a*i)2+(b*p−b*i)2}1/2≤20 (1)
- wherein
- L*p, a*p, and b*p represent color values of the powder, and
- L*i, a*i, and b*i represent color values of the resin image on the recording medium.
A post-processing device comprising
- a powder supplier that supplies powder having metallic luster on a resin image arranged on a recording medium,
- wherein a color value of the resin image and a color value of the powder on the recording medium satisfy the following Equation (1):
- {(L*p−L*i−40)2+(a*p−a*i)2+(b*p−b*i)2}1/2≤20 (1)
- wherein
- L*p, a*p, and b*p represent color values of the powder, and
- L*i, a*i, and b*i represent color values of the resin image on the recording medium.
An adjusting device for adjusting a color value of a resin image arranged on a recording medium and a color value of powder having metallic luster supplied onto the resin image on the recording medium, the adjusting device comprising
- a hardware processor that:
- acquires powder information regarding a color value of the powder;
- and
- outputs first color value information regarding the color value of the resin image on the recording medium satisfying the following Equation (1) using the acquired powder information:
- {(L*p−L*i−40)2+(a*p−a*i)2+(b*p−b*i)2}1/2≤20 (1)
- wherein
- L*p, a*p, and b*p represent color values of the powder, and
- L*i, a*i, and b*i represent color values of the resin image on the recording medium.
An adjusting device for adjusting a color value of a resin image arranged on a recording medium and a color value of powder having metallic luster supplied onto the resin image on the recording medium, the adjusting device comprising
- a hardware processor that:
- acquires image information regarding a color value of the resin image on the recording medium;
- and
- outputs second color value information regarding a color value of the powder satisfying the following Equation (1) using the acquired image information:
- {(L*p−L*i−40)2+(a*p−a*i)2+(b*p−b*i)2}1/2≤20 (1)
- wherein
- L*p, a*p, and b*p represent color values of the powder, and
- L*i, a*i, and b*i represent color values of the resin image on the recording medium.
