It is an object of the present invention to improve visibility for observation with naked eyes or for camera shooting without spoiling the appearance during marking inside a. transparent medium using a laser. By irradiating an inside of a transparent medium with a laser, the present invention forms a micro-denatured region in each of a first layer and a second layer inside the medium. The micro-denatured regions in the respective layers are arranged out of alignment with each other on a two-dimensional plane (refer to FIG. 1).

A method for closed-loop color control in printing machines using a computer includes initially coating a printing substrate with opaque white to set up closed-loop color control in the course of a print job, subsequently applying process colors and, in the process, color measurement strips onto the opaque white, recording the opaque white and the color measurement strips using a measuring device, and, based on data recorded by the measuring device, performing closed-loop color control for process colors and opaque white using the computer. The measuring device is an inline measuring device and is initially calibrated at a fixed position of the printing substrate, then the application of opaque white is adjusted and, when a deviation stays below a maximum deviation, closed-loop control of both the opaque white and the process colors is done using the computer by taking measurements in the color control strip.

In a printing apparatus, in a first mode a head ejects a first type of liquid onto a printing medium and an energy applying device applies energy to the first type of liquid to form a background, and subsequently the head ejects a second type of liquid onto the background and the energy applying device applies energy to the second type of liquid on the background so that an image is formed on the background. In a second mode the head ejects the second type of liquid onto the printing medium without forming a background, and the energy applying device applies energy to the second type of liquid. The controller performs setting a quantity of the second type of liquid to be used in the first mode, to be greater than a quantity of the second type of liquid to be used in the second mode.
