Abstract
A printing information management device includes a model storage that stores a plurality of product models each included in one file linked with information on a printing target and printing setting information used to control a recording device, a model selector that selects one product model from the plurality of product models, and an output that provides the printing setting information included in the selected product model to the recording device.
Claims18
A printing information management device managing a product model usable for a recording device including ink heads that eject a plurality of types of ink, a support that supports a printing target, and a conveyor that moves the support in a scanning direction with respect to the ink heads, the printing information management device comprising:
- a model storage that stores a plurality of product models each included in one file in a state of being linked with information on the printing target, information on a palette placed on the support that accommodates the printing target during printing, and printing setting information used to control the recording device;
- a model selector that selects one product model from the plurality of product models;
- and
- an output that provides the printing setting information included in the selected product model to the recording device, wherein
- the ink heads include a first ink head that ejects ink used for image formation and a second ink head that ejects ink used for at least one of under treatment before the image formation and surface finish after the image formation, and
- the model storage stores the plurality of product models including the same information on the printing target and different information for the printing setting information to eject ink from the second ink head.
