A medium (6) includes at least one base material (7) including an adhesive layer (70), and a release liner (9) affixed to the adhesive layer (70). The at least one base material includes a first portion (71) and a second portion (72) aligned with the first portion in a first direction and connected to the first portion. The second portion includes a base portion (721) and a first fold portion (722). The base portion is aligned with the first portion in the first direction and connected to the first portion. The first fold portion is aligned with the base portion in a second direction, and connected to the base portion. The second portion includes at least one recess recessed in a thickness direction of the base material or at least one cut (81-83) extending in the thickness direction.

In an image forming system, a controller is configured to input an operation amount for moving a carriage in a main scanning direction at a target velocity, to a motor driver based on a movement velocity of the carriage detected from an encoder signal. The motor driver is configured to apply a driving power based on the operation amount to a motor. The controller is configured to detect an abnormality in the movement velocity, a physical amount related to the movement velocity, or the operation amount, and to identify a cause of the abnormality based on an area, in a moving route of the carriage, in which the abnormality in the observed amount is detected, or based on a time period during which the abnormality in the observed amount is detected during movement of the carriage.

The holder 12 includes a first side plate 30, a second side plate 40, a shaft 50, and a memory 70. The shaft 50 extends in a first direction. The first side plate 30 is located at one end E1 of the shaft 50 in the first direction. The second side plate 40 is located at the another end E2 of the shaft 50. The first side plate 30 includes a first surface 31A facing the second side plate 40 in the first direction, and a second surface 31B located at the opposite side of the first surface 31A. The memory 70 includes an electrical contact surface 71. The electrical contact surface 71 is located at the second surface 31B and faces in a direction from the second side plate 40 toward the first side plate 30.

An aqueous ink for inkjet recording includes a plant-derived colorant, a plant-derived water-soluble organic solvent, a plant-derived surfactant, and water. The plant-derived surfactant may be a biosurfactant.

A method includes providing a roll holder including a memory, the roll holder configured to allow a roll around which a sheet is wound to be attached, attaching the roll to the provided roll holder and writing, by a writing device, information related to the roll into the memory.

An image forming apparatus includes a memory, a user interface, a network interface, and a controller. The image forming apparatus is connectable to the Internet via the network interface. The controller is configured to: perform communication via the network interface in accordance with a setting value stored in the memory; in response to receiving, via the user interface, an instruction to change the setting value stored in the memory, change the setting value in accordance with the instruction; perform communication via the network interface in accordance with the changed setting value stored in the memory; and control the user interface to display a warning regarding security degradation based on the received instruction.

An aqueous ink for inkjet recording includes gardenia yellow coloring agent, a watersoluble organic solvent, cyclodextrins, and water. The cyclodextrins include seven or more glucose molecules and have a solubility in water at 25°C of 30 g/100 mL or more.

A liquid ejecting unit (100) includes a head (43); and a heating assembly (20) configured to heat liquid to be supplied to the head. The heating assembly includes: a main body (211) having a channel (C1, C2, C3) configured to flow the liquid through the channel, the channel being disposed inside the main body; a holder (212, 213) including a facing portion (212F, 213F) facing the main body in a facing direction and a connecter (212C, 213C) connecting the main body and the facing portion; a heater (221) configured to apply heat to the main body; a main metal plate (223) positioned between the heater and the facing portion in the facing direction; and a sub-metal plate (231, 232) positioned between the main metal plate and the facing portion in the facing direction, the sub-metal plate pressing the heater toward the main body via the main metal plate.

A pretreatment liquid to be applied to a fabric in a region including an ink ejection region before an ink containing a pigment is ejected, the pretreatment liquid containing a resin, in which a product obtained by centrifuging the pretreatment liquid to separate an upper layer component and lower layer component and then drying the upper layer component has a storage modulus (G') at 25°C of 95 kPa or less and a storage modulus (G') at 160°C of 47 kPa or less.

A developing cartridge (1) includes: a casing (10); a developing roller (30); a shaft (61); and a first inclined surface (621). The shaft (61) is movable in a first direction relative to the casing (10) and the developing roller (30), and is movable in a second direction together with the casing (10) and the developing roller (30). The first inclined surface (621) is positioned at one end portion (61A) of the shaft (61) in the first direction and movable together with the shaft (61). The first inclined surface (621) is inclined relative to the first direction such that a distance between the shaft (61) and the first inclined surface (621) in the second direction increases in a direction from the one end portion (61A) of the shaft (61) in the first direction to another end portion of the shaft (61) in the first direction.
