Abstract
The present invention provides a printing method of printing an image for which a client places a print order by making an image quality correction to an item indicated by the client, comprising the steps of: managing a print history of a client individually for each client, detecting as an image to be repeat-printed based on the print history of an image for which an order for repeat print is placed from among images for which print orders are accepted from clients, and setting an item of image quality correction and an amount of correction based on the print history such that the same image quality correction as the image quality correction made before to the image to be repeat-printed can be made.
Claims25
A printing method of an image for which a client places a print order by making an image quality correction to an item indicated by the client, comprising:
- managing a print history of a client individually for each client;
- detecting an image for which an order for repeat print is placed as an image to be repeat-printed, from among images for which print orders are accepted from the client, based on the print history;
- and
- setting an item of image quality correction and an amount of correction based on the print history such that the same image quality correction as the image quality correction made before to the image to be repeat-printed can be made.
A printing system which makes image quality correction of an item indicated by a client to an image for which a print order is placed from a print acceptance terminal, and prints the image on a printer, comprising:
- a management device which manages a print history of a client individually for each client;
- a repeat print target image detection device which detects as an image to be repeat-printed based on the print history of an image for which an order for repeat print is placed in images for which print orders are accepted from the client;
- and
- an image quality correction setting device which sets an item of image quality correction and an amount of correction based on the print history such that the same image quality correction as the image quality correction made before to the image to be repeat-printed detected by the repeat print target image detection device can be made.
A printing system which makes image quality correction of an item indicated by a client to an image for which a print order is placed from a print acceptance terminal, and prints the image on a printer, comprising:
- a management device which manages a print history of a client individually for each client;
- a most frequently used image quality correction item detection device which detects a most frequently used item of image quality correction in items of image quality correction made before by a client who places a print order as a most frequently used image quality correction item from the print history;
- a correction target extraction device which extracts an image requiring image quality correction of the most frequently used image quality correction item detected by the most frequently used image quality correction item detection device as an image to be corrected from among images for which print orders are newly placed based on the print history;
- a most correction requiring target image extraction device which extracts an image most requiring image quality correction as a target image most requiring correction from among extracted images to be corrected by the correction target execution device based on the print history;
- a sample image generation device which generates a plurality of sample images by stepwise changing an amount of correction of the target image most requiring correction extracted by the most correction requiring target image extraction device and makes image quality correction to the most frequently used image quality correction item;
- a display control device which displays the plurality of sample images generated by the sample image generation device on a display device;
- a selection device which selects one of the sample images displayed on the display device;
- and
- an image quality correction setting device which sets an item of image quality correction to be made to the image to be corrected and an amount of correction such that the same image quality correction as the image quality correction made to the sample image selected by the selection device can be made.
