Printing method, printing system, and printing device

A printing system that draws an image on a transfer-receiving medium by transferring the image printed on a transfer medium to the transfer-receiving medium, the printing system comprising:

• a printing device that performs printing on the transfer medium through an inkjet method;
• and
• a transfer unit that transfers the image from the transfer medium to the transfer-receiving medium, wherein
• the transfer unit transfers the image from the transfer medium to the transfer-receiving medium by causing a hot melt resin portion to adhere to the transfer-receiving medium in a state where hot melt resin powder, which is powder containing a resin softened through heating, is caused to adhere to the transfer medium on which the image is printed, the hot melt resin portion being a resin portion formed by heating the transfer medium to which the hot melt resin powder adheres, and softening the hot melt resin powder through heating,
• the printing device includes:
• a colored ink head that is an inkjet head ejecting a colored ink, which is an ink containing a coloring material showing a nonwhite color, and
• a clear ink head that is an inkjet head ejecting a clear ink, which is a colorless and translucent ink, and
• in the transfer medium, the clear ink is further ejected from the clear ink head to at least a part of a region to which the colored ink is ejected from the colored ink head.

A printing device that performs printing on a transfer medium through an inkjet method in a printing system that draws an image on a transfer-receiving medium by transferring the image printed on the transfer medium to the transfer-receiving medium, the printing device comprising:

• a colored ink head that is an inkjet head ejecting a colored ink, which is an ink containing a coloring material showing a nonwhite color;
• and
• a clear ink head that is an inkjet head ejecting a clear ink, which is a colorless and translucent ink, wherein
• transfer of the image from the transfer medium to the transfer-receiving medium is transfer of the image from the transfer medium to the transfer-receiving medium performed by causing a hot melt resin portion to adhere to the transfer-receiving medium in a state where hot melt resin powder, which is powder containing a resin softened through heating, is caused to adhere to the transfer medium on which the image is printed, the hot melt resin portion being a resin portion formed by heating the transfer medium to which the hot melt resin powder adheres, and softening the hot melt resin powder through heating, and
• in the transfer medium, the clear ink is further ejected from the clear ink head to at least a part of a region to which the colored ink is ejected from the colored ink head, and a clear ejection amount, which is an amount of the clear ink per unit area ejected to each position on the transfer medium, is differed according to an amount of the colored ink ejected per unit area.
