A printing device including: a print head which performs printing on a printing area in a first nail of a finger or a toe and next performs printing on a printing area in a second nail of a finger or a toe; a mover which moves the print head; and a processor. The processor sets a printing start position in the second nail in response to a printing end position of the printing area in the first nail, the printing start position in the second nail being at a side closer to either a nail tip-side end or a root-side end of the printing area in the second nail, and controls the print head and the mover to perform the printing on the printing area in the second nail from the printing start position in the second nail after the printing is finished for the first nail.

Printing device, printing method, and storage medium

Disclosed is a printing system including at least one processor and a print head which performs printing on a printing target. The processor sets an application amount of a base ink to be applied to the printing target according to a design to be printed on the printing target by the print head, and controls the print head to apply the base ink to the printing target based on the set application amount of the base ink.

Printing system, control method for printing device, and storage medium

Disclosed is a printing device including at least one processor and a print head. The processor detects a nail region based on an image obtained by photographing a finger or a toe, sets at least a part of the detected nail region as a preceding print setting region, detects a region on which the preceding print is printed as a succeeding print region based on an image obtained by photographing the finger or the toe on which the preceding print is printed, sets a succeeding print region reference point corresponding to the succeeding print region, or sets a preceding print setting region reference point corresponding to the preceding print setting region and the succeeding print region reference point, and causes the print head to print a succeeding print on the nail region based on information on the preceding print setting region and a reference point that is set.

Printing device, control method for printing device, and storage medium

A printer includes a print head and a processor. The print head ejects ink from nozzles to a printing medium while moving in a first direction, and also moves in a second direction intersecting with the first direction by a moving amount that is a dimension in the second direction of each of blocks into which the nozzles are divided in the second direction. Based on a position of the printing medium and the dimension, the processor determines whether to perform printing in a first mode or a second mode. A printing start position in the second direction of the print head is set such that a position in the second direction of one of boundaries between mutually adjacent blocks coincides, in the first mode, with a position of a back end of a printing region, and in the second mode, with a position of a front end of the printing region.

Printer and printing method

A printing device includes a printing head with nozzles, a movement mechanism that moves the printing head, and at least one processor. The processor controls the printing head to eject ink from each of the nozzles and to print on each position in a printing target area while causing the movement mechanism to move the printing head; and upon superposing printings in the printing target area based on pieces of data that are different from each other, controls the printing head to eject ink from at least one of the nozzles in each printing onto a different position from a position in a previous printing based on a different piece of data among the pieces of data for each of the superposing printings. The pieces of data is used in specifying from which of the nozzles ink is ejected onto each position in a printable area of the printing device.

Printing device, print controlling method, and storage medium

Disclosed is a printing device including: a print head; a camera that photographs a printing target which is printed by the print head; and at least one processor that determines whether or not printing is properly performed to the printing target based on a printed image which is photographed by the camera, and that changes a printing setting by the print head in response to determination that the printing is not properly performed to the printing target.

Printing device, control method of printing device, storage medium storing control program, and printing control device

A printer includes a printing head, a nail information detection unit, an outline comparison determination unit, and a display unit. The printing head prints on a print target. The nail information detection unit detects a base outline that is a base outline in an area including the print target and a non-print target adjacent to the print target. The outline comparison determination unit compares a print outline that is an outline of an area to be printed on the print target with the base outline, and determines whether or not there is a difference equal to or larger than a set value. The display unit reports, as a reporting unit, to a user that the difference determined by the outline comparison determination unit is equal to or larger than the set value.

A drawing device includes a drawing head and a processor which controls the drawing head. The drawing head draws an image by forming at least one of a first droplet dot formed by a first droplet and a second droplet dot formed by a second droplet including a larger droplet amount than the first droplet on a drawing target surface curved convexly along a first direction. The processor controls the drawing head to form the second droplet dot in at least a part of an adjustment region in at least one end of ends in the first direction on the drawing target surface based on drawing data of the image, and the drawing data is image data for drawing the image on a non-curved surface.

Drawing device and drawing method

A drawing apparatus includes a drawing head and a control device. If a drawing target surface has a first region acclivitous and declivitous respectively in first and second directions different from one another, the drawing head draws first pixels to be drawn on the first region while performing first and second scans in which the drawing head moves respectively in the first and second directions. The control device controls a ratio of a drawing amount of a first scan drawing pixel to be drawn in a line of the first region during the first scan to a drawing amount required for pixels in the line among the first pixels to be higher than a ratio of a drawing amount of a second scan drawing pixel to be drawn in the line during the second scan to the drawing amount required for the pixels in the line.
