Abstract
There are provided printed matter whose image surface has uniform gloss and whose image formed of ink is of high quality, has enhanced appearance, does not have its left and right sides reversed, and is easy to see; a printing method which allows the printed matter to be easily obtained, and a printer which makes it possible to easily realize the printing method. The image which is a mirror image formed with ink is formed within an image-formation area of a surface of a print medium which is a transparent member. Then, a surface of the image and at least a blank space section within the image-formation area of the print medium are covered with an underlying layer 8 formed with underlying layer ink, after which a surface of the underlying layer is covered with a light-shielding layer formed with light-shielding layer ink.
