Claim 0:
1. A printed matter forming method of forming a printed matter by forming a printing layer on a surface of an internal scattering member in order to reproduce a texture of a surface of a target object, the printed matter forming method comprising:
acquiring first light scattering characteristic data about a light scattering characteristic of the target object with respect to incident light on the surface of the target object;
acquiring second light scattering characteristic data about a light scattering characteristic of a fluid constituting the printing layer, for each type of the fluid;
acquiring third light scattering characteristic data about a light scattering characteristic of the internal scattering member;
estimating a light scattering characteristic of the printed matter according to a formation condition of the printing layer, based on the second light scattering characteristic data for each type of the fluid and the third light scattering characteristic data;
setting the formation condition employed at the time of forming the printing layer, based on the estimated light scattering characteristic of the printed matter and the first light scattering characteristic data; and
forming the printing layer on the surface of the internal scattering member in accordance with the set formation condition.
