Abstract
A transfer medium manufacturing method for manufacturing a transfer medium in which a foil forming recording material containing metallic particles capable of being transferred onto a target has been applied to a base material includes: applying the foil forming recording material to the base material; and smoothing the surface of the foil forming recording material applied to the base material in the applying, the foil forming recording material being in a partially-melted state.
Claims8
A transfer medium manufacturing method for manufacturing a transfer medium in which a foil forming recording material containing metallic particles capable of being transferred onto a target has been applied to a base material, the method comprising:
- applying the foil forming recording material to the base material;
- and
- smoothing the surface of the foil forming recording material applied to the base material in the applying, the foil forming recording material being in a partially-melted state.
A transfer method comprising:
- applying a foil forming recording material containing metallic particles to a base material;
- smoothing the surface of the foil forming recording material applied to the base material in the applying, the foil forming recording material being in a partially-melted state;
- and
- transferring the foil forming recording material whose surface has been smoothed in the smoothing from the base material onto a target.
A transfer medium manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a transfer medium in which a foil forming recording material containing metallic particles capable of being transferred onto a target has been applied to a base material, the apparatus comprising:
- a recording material application unit that applies the foil forming recording material to the base material;
- and
- a smoothing unit that smoothes the surface of the foil forming recording material applied to the base material by the recording material application unit.
