Abstract
A modification device includes: a plasma processing unit that performs plasma processing on a processed object such that a surface of the processed object has a predetermined water contact angle; and a cooling unit that cools the surface of the processed object at least from when the plasma processing is performed to when ink is discharged such that a surface temperature of the processed object during discharge of the ink to the processed object is a temperature at which a target water contact angle range is achieved.
Claims14
A modification device comprising:
- a plasma processing unit that performs plasma processing on a processed object such that a surface of the processed object has a predetermined water contact angle;
- and
- a cooling unit that cools the surface of the processed object at least from when the plasma processing is performed to when ink is discharged such that a surface temperature of the processed object during discharge of the ink to the processed object is a temperature at which a target water contact angle range is achieved.
A modification method comprising:
- performing plasma processing on a processed object such that a surface of the processed object has a predetermined water contact angle;
- and
- cooling the surface of the processed object at least from when the plasma processing is performed to when ink is discharged such that a surface temperature of the processed object during discharge of the ink to the processed object is a temperature at which a target water contact angle range is achieved.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having an information processing program, the program causing a computer to execute:
- performing plasma processing on a processed object such that a surface of the processed object has a predetermined water contact angle;
- and
- cooling the surface of the processed object at least from when the plasma processing is performed to when ink is discharged such that a surface temperature of the processed object during discharge of the ink to the processed object is a temperature at which a target water contact angle range is achieved.
