The first image portion has a plurality of recesses in which first elements formed of a first coloring material are disposed. The second image portion is formed of the first coloring material, has a plurality of recesses in which second elements whose transfer amount of the coloring material per unit area is different from those of the first elements are disposed, and has smoothness different from that of the first image portion. |
