Color correction device, printing system, color correction method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

A printing system comprising:

• a color correction device;
• and
• a printing device, wherein
• the color correction device includes
• a color conversion unit configured to convert an input value in an input color space into an output value in an output color space,
• a selection unit configured to receive a selection, as a target color component, of one or more color components among a plurality of color components used in the printing device,
• a correction unit configured to execute a first correction process of correcting, when the input value is a first type input value representing a color not including the target color component, a first type output value corresponding to the first type input value in a manner of reducing the target color component, and
• a printing data generation unit configured to generate printing data to be supplied to the printing device using a corrected output value corrected by the correction unit, and
• the first correction process includes non-target-color component correction of reducing a color difference between before and after correction by correcting an output value component corresponding to a non-target-color component that is a color component other than the target color component among the plurality of color components.

A color correction method comprising:

• (a) converting an input value in an input color space into an output value in an output color space;
• (b) receiving a selection, as a target color component, of one or more color components among a plurality of color components used in a printing device;
• and
• (c) executing a first correction process of correcting, when the input value is a first type input value representing color not including the target color component, a first type output value corresponding to the first type input value in a manner of reducing the target color component, wherein
• the first correction process includes non-target-color component correction of reducing a color difference between before and after correction by correcting an output value component corresponding to a non-target-color component that is a color component other than the target color component among the plurality of color components.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program causing a computer to execute:

• (a) a process of converting an input value in an input color space into an output value in an output color space;
• (b) a process of receiving a selection, as a target color component, of one or more color components among a plurality of color components used in a printing device;
• and
• (c) a first correction process of correcting, when the input value is a first type input value representing a color not including the target color component, a first type output value corresponding to the first type input value in a manner of reducing the target color component, wherein
• the first correction process includes non-target-color component correction of reducing a color difference between before and after correction by correcting an output value component corresponding to a non-target-color component that is a color component other than the target color component among the plurality of color components.
