Abstract:
Printing apparatus includes: a printer (thin-film carrier, conveyer, and droplet discharger) printing on a thin film by discharging, while shifting thin film in first direction, droplets containing a functional component from a plurality of positions differing from each other in second direction; and a print uniformity controller (print controller and position switcher) performing the printing for a plurality of times, by using the printer and changing position and/or orientation of thin film relative to the plurality of positions.
Abstract:
A cosmetic ink includes a colorant, a higher alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms, purified water, an acrylic-based resin, and a film-forming agent. The colorant includes a white-based pigment, a yellow-based pigment, a red-based pigment, and a blue-based pigment. In a coating film of the cosmetic ink, a spectral reflectance curve obtained by measuring spectral reflectances in wavelengths of 400 nm to 700 nm has a first inflection point in a wavelength region of 550 nm or more and 610 nm or less, and a second inflection point in a wavelength region of less than 550 nm; a spectral reflectance at the first inflection point is higher than a spectral reflectance at the second inflection point; and spectral reflectances throughout a wavelength region of more than 580 nm are equal to or higher than a spectral reflectance at a wavelength of 580 nm.
Abstract:
An inkjet printing ink according to the present disclosure contains a pigment, acrylic particles, an alcohol, and water. The alcohol contains at least a trihydric alcohol. A ratio of an amount of the alcohol to a whole mass of the inkjet printing ink is 30% by mass or less. A ratio of an amount of the acrylic particles to a mass of the pigment is 5% by mass to 100% by mass. Further, the inkjet printing ink has negative skin irritation.
Abstract:
There are provided a cosmetic ink that can be applied to a light-transmitting sheet to form an image with high hiding power and a method for producing a cosmetic sheet using the cosmetic ink. There are also provided a cosmetic ink with good drying characteristics and a method for producing a cosmetic sheet using the cosmetic ink. Such a cosmetic ink contains a reflecting agent, a higher alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms, purified water, and a binder. The cosmetic sheet includes a sheet and a film of a solidified product of the cosmetic ink formed on the sheet.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus controls an operation of a printer apparatus that prints an image on a sheet being attachable to skin. The image processing apparatus includes: an image acquirer that acquires a skin image; an image analyzer that extracts, from the skin image, a discolored region differing in color from surrounding skin by at least a predetermined level, and color of the surrounding skin; a print type determiner that determines, based on at least one of color and size of the discolored region, a print type that includes at least one of use/nonuse of a base material containing a white pigment, a particle shape of a print material used in the printing, a scheme of the printing, and use/nonuse of lamé powder; and a printing controller that outputs, to the printer apparatus, image data having a content of printing a print material in the surrounding color, on a region corresponding to the discolored region in the sheet, and controls an operation of the printer apparatus according to the determined print type.
Abstract:
A wrinkle care support device includes: a wrinkle change detector that detects a change made in a wrinkle after occurrence of the wrinkle, the wrinkle having occurred in skin by provision of predetermined stimulation; a wrinkle care information determiner that determines, based on the detected change, user presentation information relating to wrinkle care; and an information outputter that outputs the determined user presentation information. Note that the wrinkle care support device may further include: an image obtainer that obtains an image where the skin is photographed; and a wrinkle detector that detects the wrinkle from the obtained image. The detection of the change may include a detection of a wrinkle disappearing time starting from when the predetermined stimulation is provided until the wrinkle is no longer detected.
Abstract:
A method of producing an adhesive sheet for skin includes attaching a water-absorptive support to a water-permeable biocompatible film to prepare a stack including the biocompatible film and the support, applying an aqueous ink including water and a functional material to the biocompatible film side of the stack thereby to fix the functional material to the biocompatible film, and separating the biocompatible film having the functional material fixed thereto from the support. An adhesive sheet for skin comprises a water-permeable biocompatible film to which an aqueous ink including water and a functional material has been applied and fixed and a water-absorptive support detachably attached to the biocompatible film.
Abstract:
A thin film affixing device used to affix a thin film to an adherend surface, such as the face of a user, is provided. The thin film affixing device is configured to include a main portion having a first surface and a second surface, where the first surface has a temporary adherend portion that allows the thin film to be temporarily attached thereto, a holding member that holds the main portion so that the first side is viewable from the second side through the main portion and the temporary adherend portion is capable of pressing against the adherend surface, and a transparent hydrophilic layer formed on the first surface of the main portion so as to serve as the temporary adherend portion.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an image acquirer that acquires a first skin image obtained by capturing an image of a skin at a first timing and a second skin image obtained by capturing an image of the skin at a second timing later than the first timing, an image analyzer that extracts a first discolored area from a first skin image and extracts a color of the skin from the second skin image, an image determiner that determines a cover area within the second skin image based on the first discolored area and determines a color of the cover area based on the color of the skin, and a print controller that generates image data with a content for printing an image of the determined cover area on the sheet by using a coloring material of the determined color.
Abstract:
A makeup part generating apparatus includes a drawing receiver that receives a drawing operation of a makeup part image that is to be overlaid on a facial image, an information acquiring unit that acquires, at each time point in a process of the drawing operation, a progress image that is an image drawn by the time point, and a drawing technique used at the time point, and an information processor that records and outputs makeup part information including, in a time-series manner, image information indicating the progress image, and technique information indicating at least one of the drawing technique and a makeup technique that is an application technique of a cosmetic corresponding to the drawing technique.
