Printing device printing patch chart including patches for specified colors included in specified object specified from among objects in printing target image

A method of controlling a printing device, the printing device

• including:
• a display configured to display a printing target image including a plurality of objects;
• a user interface configured to receive a selection of a specified object specified from among the plurality of objects in the printing target image displayed on the display;
• a printing engine configured to print the printing target image on a print medium;
• and a storage unit, the method comprising:
• a printing operation to print a patch chart on at least one sheet of print media with the printing engine, the patch chart including at least one first patch for at least one specified color and a second patch for a predetermined color, each of the at least one specified color being a color included in the specified object, the storage unit being configured to store information on the at least one specified color;
• an acquisition operation to acquire an importance level defined for each of the at least one specified color;
• and
• a storage operation to store the importance level in the storage unit in association with the each of the at least one specified color,
• wherein when a plurality of specified objects including a plurality of specified colors are inputted through the user interface, a controller acquires a plurality of importance levels determined for respective ones of the plurality of specified colors in the acquisition operation, each of the plurality of importance levels indicating importance of a corresponding one of the plurality of specified colors in the printing target image.

A printing system comprising:

• an information processing device;
• and
• a printing device,
• wherein the information processing device comprises:
• a display configured to display a printing target image including a plurality of objects;
• a user interface configured to receive a selection of a specified object specified from among the plurality of objects in the printing target image displayed on the display;
• and
• a first network interface configured to transmit information on the specified object inputted through the user interface,
• wherein the printing device comprises:
• a second network interface configured to receive the information on the specified object transmitted from the first network interface;
• a printing engine configured to print the printing target image on a print medium;
• a storage unit;
• and
• a controller configured to perform:
• a printing operation to print a patch chart on at least one sheet of print media with the printing engine, the patch chart including at least one first patch for at least one specified color and a second patch for a predetermined color, each of the at least one specified color being a color included in the specified object, the storage unit being configured to store information on the at least one specified color;
• an acquisition operation to acquire an importance level defined for each of the at least one specified color;
• and
• a storage operation to store the importance level in the storage unit in association with the each of the at least one specified color, and
• wherein when a plurality of specified objects including a plurality of specified colors are inputted through the user interface and information on the plurality of specified objects are received through the second network interface, the controller acquires a plurality of importance levels determined for respective ones of the plurality of specified colors in the acquisition operation, each of the plurality of importance levels indicating importance of a corresponding one of the plurality of specified colors in the printing target image.
