In one example of the disclosure, a plot to be printed at a digital printer is received. A designation of a target area of the plot is received. A first printing is caused. The first printing is a printing of the target area without printing non-target areas of the plot. Quality data indicative of the quality of the printed target area is received. If the indicated quality is above a predefined threshold, a second printing is caused resulting in printing of the entire plot.

A drawing apparatus includes a processor generating data for drawing according to a type of a target on which drawing is performed. The target is placed in a drawable area. The drawing apparatus further includes a drawing head drawing on the target placed in the drawable area on a basis of the data for drawing generated by the processor.

An application control device according to an embodiment of the present invention has a storage unit that stores a first image of a predetermined range of a skin; an acquisition unit that acquires a second image of the skin having a smaller range than the first image from an image capture unit coupled to an application head configured to apply cosmetics to the skin; and a recognition unit that recognizes a position of the second image in the first image.

A plotter includes a mounting portion, a first movement mechanism, a second movement mechanism, a processor, and a memory. The mounting portion is configured to mount with a pen containing a liquid. The first movement mechanism is configured to relatively move the mounting portion and a workpiece in a movement direction. The second movement mechanism configured to relatively move the mounting portion and the workpiece in a direction intersecting the movement direction. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes. The processes include acquiring plot data, acquiring information relating to a remaining amount of the liquid of the pen, setting a relative movement speed of the mounting portion and the workpiece, and controlling the first movement mechanism and the second movement mechanism at the set movement speed, and performing drawing on the workpiece.

An image processing apparatus includes a memory and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to calculate a pixel scale factor for each of pixel positions in a main scanning direction of an input image for a line based on a magnification. The circuitry is configured to store, in the memory, the pixel scale factors calculated for the line in order of pixel position. The circuitry is configured to read, in parallel, N-number of pixel scale factors of the pixel scale factors for the line in order of pixel position from the memory, in synchronization with parallel reading of N-number of pixels in the main scanning direction from the input image, where N represents an integer not smaller than 2. The circuitry is configured to multiply, in parallel, the N-number of pixels read from the input image by the respective N-number of pixel scale factors read from the memory.

A system that can paint a user's nail. The system can utilize a user's smartphone and use the touch screen and camera to detect the position of the user's nail. The device can move an applicator to an appropriate position or instruct the user to move their finger relative to the applicator to paint the nail.

An object holding member, which is to be disposed in an external apparatus, includes an object insertion tool, and a connector. The object insertion tool has a space, into which an object which is a finger or a toe having a nail is inserted. The connector is configured to couple with the external apparatus and suppress a change in a position of the object holding member within the external apparatus in a case where the object holding member is disposed in the external apparatus.
