Claim 19:
20. A printed matter forming system that forms 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 system comprising:
a light scattering characteristic data acquisition device that acquires data about light scattering characteristics;
a printing layer forming device that forms the printing layer on the surface of the internal scattering member; and
a print control device that forms the printing layer on the printing layer forming device,
wherein the light scattering characteristic data acquisition device acquires first light scattering characteristic data about the light scattering characteristic of the target object with respect to incident light on the surface of the target object,
the light scattering characteristic data acquisition device acquires second light scattering characteristic data about a light scattering characteristic of a fluid constituting the printing layer, for each type of the fluid,
the light scattering characteristic data acquisition device further acquires third light scattering characteristic data about a light scattering characteristic of the internal scattering member,
the print control device estimates the light scattering characteristic of the printed matter corresponding to the formation condition of the printing layer, based on the second light scattering characteristic data and the third light scattering characteristic data for each type of the fluid, and then sets 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
the printing layer forming device forms the printing layer on the surface of the internal scattering member in accordance with the formation condition which is set by the print control device.
