Printing system and control method of printing system

A control method of a printing system including a printing apparatus including a first display section, a terminal apparatus including a second display section, and a server apparatus communicably connected to the printing apparatus and the terminal apparatus, the control method comprising:

• generating, via at least one of the printing apparatus and the terminal apparatus, first printing characteristic information indicating a characteristic of a first image for which a user gives a printing instruction, to transmit the first printing characteristic information and first medium information indicating a printing medium used for printing to the server apparatus;
• storing, via the server apparatus, a plurality of pieces of the first printing characteristic information in association with a plurality of pieces of the first medium information, to generate analysis information by analyzing a relationship between the plurality of pieces of the first printing characteristic information and the plurality of pieces of the first medium information;
• generating, via at least one of the printing apparatus and the terminal apparatus, second printing characteristic information indicating a characteristic of a second image different from the first image when the user gives an instruction to print the second image, to transmit the second printing characteristic information to the server apparatus;
• transmitting, via at least one of the printing apparatus and the terminal apparatus, holding medium information that is information indicating a type of a printing medium held by the user to the server apparatus;
• determining, via the server apparatus, second medium information indicating a printing medium conforming to the second printing characteristic information based on the analysis information, to transmit the second medium information to at least one of the printing apparatus and the terminal apparatus;
• generating, via the server apparatus, conformity rank information indicating a rank of conformity to the second printing characteristic information in association with the type of the printing medium held by the user based on the analysis information and the holding medium information, to transmit the conformity rank information to at least one of the printing apparatus and the terminal apparatus;
• and
• displaying, via at least one of the printing apparatus and the terminal apparatus, the second medium information and the conformity rank information on at least one of the first display section and the second display section.

A printing system comprising:

• a printing apparatus including a first display section;
• a terminal apparatus including a second display section;
• and
• a server apparatus communicably connected to the printing apparatus and the terminal apparatus, wherein
• when a user operates the printing apparatus,
• the printing apparatus generates first printing characteristic information indicating a characteristic of a first image for which the user gives a printing instruction, to transmit the first printing characteristic information and first medium information indicating a printing medium used for printing to the server apparatus,
• the server apparatus stores a plurality of pieces of the first printing characteristic information in association with a plurality of pieces of the first medium information, to generate analysis information by analyzing a relationship between the plurality of pieces of the first printing characteristic information and the plurality of pieces of the first medium information,
• the printing apparatus generates second printing characteristic information indicating a characteristic of a second image different from the first image when the user gives an instruction to print the second image, to transmit the second printing characteristic information to the server apparatus,
• the server apparatus determines second medium information indicating a printing medium conforming to the second printing characteristic information based on the analysis information, to transmit the second medium information to the printing apparatus, and
• the printing apparatus displays the second medium information on the first display section, and
• when the user operates the terminal apparatus,
• the terminal apparatus generates the first printing characteristic information, to transmit the first printing characteristic information and the first medium information to the server apparatus,
• the terminal apparatus generates the second printing characteristic information, to transmit the second printing characteristic information to the server apparatus,
• the server apparatus determines the second medium information, to transmit the second medium information to the terminal apparatus, and
• the terminal apparatus displays the second medium information on the second display section.
