Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

An image processing method comprising:

• a first determination step of determining, based on reading results of a color of a printed material in which a predetermined density pattern is formed by a first image forming apparatus, whether the printed material is formed in color or monochrome;
• and
• a second determination step of determining, based on a color characteristic of the first image forming apparatus derived based on the reading results and a color characteristic of a second image forming apparatus, color conversion parameters for reproducing the color characteristic of the first image forming apparatus in the second image forming apparatus, wherein
• at the second determination step, the color conversion parameters for color printing are determined in a case where the printed material is determined that formed in color at the first determination step or the color conversion parameters for monochrome printing are determined in a case where the printed material is determined that formed in monochrome at the first determination step.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform an image processing method comprising:

• a first determination step of determining, based on reading results of a color of a printed material in which a predetermined density pattern is formed by a first image forming apparatus, whether the printed material is formed in color or monochrome;
• and
• a second determination step of determining, based on a color characteristic of the first image forming apparatus derived based on the reading results and a color characteristic of a second image forming apparatus, color conversion parameters for reproducing the color characteristic of the first image forming apparatus in the second image forming apparatus, wherein
• at the second determination step, the color conversion parameters for color printing are determined in a case where the printed material is determined that formed in color at the first determination step or the color conversion parameters for monochrome printing are determined in a case where the printed material is determined that formed in monochrome at the first determination step.
