Abstract
A controller includes a memory that stores image data in a vector format representing a shape in the vector format, a contour extractor that extracts a contour of the shape based on the image data in the vector format, a reduced-size contour generator that generates reduced-size contours inside the contour by sequentially reducing inwardly the contour extracted by the contour extractor, and a moving controller that controls a carriage moving mechanism such that a foil transfer tool moves along the reduced-size contours and the contour in order from an innermost reduced-size contour to the contour at an outermost side.
