There are provided a printing method and a printing apparatus for increasing visibility and printed matter printed using the printing method. The printing apparatus sprays a light-absorbing composition to form a light-absorbing layer on a print medium, and then sprays a color-variable composition on the light-absorbing layer to form a color-variable layer.

An applicator of the invention includes a main body, a storage chamber disposed in the main body, an application body disposed at an end of the main body to allow application of the liquid stored in the storage chamber, a partition for partitioning between the storage chamber side and the application body side, the partition including a flow passage to supply the liquid in the storage chamber to the application body, an axially movable air communication pipe having an air port open to the storage chamber, which abuts on the partition to close the flow passage, and communicates the storage chamber with the atmosphere while having the flow passage closed, and a spring member for urging the air communication pipe to abut on the partition, and separating the air communication pipe from the partition through vibration of the main body to allow guiding of the liquid in the storage chamber.

A writing felt pen including a barrel and a nib attached to the barrel, and a deformable pouch comprising a mix of absorbent polymer and fibres, an ink being absorbed in the absorbent polymer and the nib being in fluidic communication with the mix.

A device for reproducing a color on demand. The device includes a body including a tip and a scanner. The body also includes a control unit, a plurality of ink reservoirs, an ink supply system, a mixing tank and a sensor. The control unit communicates with the scanner and ink supply system to reproduce a desired color that has been scanned.

This printing device is provided with a first ink container that contains a first ink; a second ink container that contains a second ink; temperature adjusting units that adjust the temperature of the first ink contained in the first ink container and/or the temperature of the second ink contained in the second ink container; a nozzle that sprays the inks; and a control unit that controls the first temperature adjusting unit and the second temperature adjusting unit.
