Abstract
There is provided a PC that performs print control on a printing apparatus which stores a plurality of pieces of color conversion information for color-converting first color information included in print data into second color information different from the first color information, the PC including a PC control unit that generates the print data including first designation information for designating in the print data a conversion target of the color conversion and second designation information for designating color conversion information used for the color conversion among the plurality of pieces of color conversion information stored in the printing apparatus, and transmits the generated print data to the printing apparatus.
Claims6
A printing control apparatus that performs print control on a printing apparatus which performs color conversion for converting first color information included in print data into second color information different from the first color information, the apparatus comprising
- a control apparatus processor configured to
- generate the print data including first designation information for designating a conversion target area and an object of the color conversion and
- transmit the generated print data to the printing apparatus, causing the printing apparatus to perform the color conversion, converting the first color information of the object included in print data into the second color information before performing printing, wherein:
- the conversion target area is an area designated by four coordinates according to a user operation, and
- the first designation information designates the object in the conversion target area as a conversion target.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing unit configured to execute printing;
- a storage configured to store color conversion information for performing color conversion for converting first color information included in print data into second color information different from the first color information;
- and
- a printing apparatus processor configured to:
- obtain the print data including first designation information for designating a conversion target area and an object of the color conversion, the first designation information designates the object in the conversion target area as a conversion target,
- perform the color conversion on the conversion target, which is designated by the first designation information, in the obtained print data based on the color conversion information stored in the storage unit;
- and
- cause the printing unit to execute printing based on image data obtained by performing the color conversion on the object in the conversion target area in the print data.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer, which performs print control on a printing apparatus which performs color conversion for converting first color information included in print data into second color information different from the first color information, to execute:
- generating the print data including first designation information for designating a conversion target area and an object of the color conversion and transmitting the generated print data to the printing apparatus, causing the printing apparatus to perform the color conversion, converting the first color information of the conversion target included in print data into the second color information before performing printing, wherein:
- the conversion target area is an area designated by four coordinates according to a user operation, and
- the first designation information designates the object in the conversion target area as a conversion target.
