Print system, printing apparatus used in the print system, printing method, and storage medium storing program

A printing method executed in a print system including an information processing apparatus and a printing apparatus which includes a storage unit that stores a parameter for performing color correction corresponding to a type of a printing medium for image data, and the type of the printing medium in correspondence with each other, and which prints an image on the printing medium based on the image data transmitted from the information processing apparatus, comprising:

• a transmission step of transmitting information indicating the type of the printing medium to the printing apparatus;
• a reception step of receiving information indicating the type of the printing medium from the information processing apparatus;
• a determination step of determining, based on the information received from the information processing apparatus, whether the storage unit stores the parameter corresponding to the type of the printing medium indicated by the information;
• a parameter transmission step of transmitting the parameter to the information processing apparatus when the storage unit is determined in the determination step to store the parameter;
• a color correction step of performing the color correction for the image data using the parameter received from the printing apparatus;
• an image data transmission step of transmitting the image data having undergone the color correction in the color correction step to the printing apparatus;
• and
• a printing step of printing the image based on the image data that has undergone the color correction and has been received from the information processing apparatus.

A printing apparatus which prints an image on a printing medium based on image data transmitted from an information processing apparatus, comprising:

• a storage unit configured to store a parameter for performing color correction corresponding to a type of the printing medium for the image data, and the type of the printing medium in correspondence with each other;
• a reception unit configured to receive information indicating the type of the printing medium from the information processing apparatus;
• a determination unit configured to determine, based on the information received from the information processing apparatus, whether said storage unit stores the parameter corresponding to the type of the printing medium indicated by the information;
• a parameter transmission unit configured to transmit the parameter to the information processing apparatus when said determination unit determines that said storage unit stores the parameter;
• and
• a printing unit configured to print the image based on the image data that has undergone the color correction and has been received from the information processing apparatus.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as

• a reception step of receiving information indicating a type of a printing medium from an information processing apparatus,
• a determination step of determining, based on the information received from the information processing apparatus, whether a storage unit which stores a parameter for performing color correction corresponding to the type of the printing medium for image data, and the type of the printing medium in correspondence with each other stores a parameter corresponding to the type of the printing medium indicated by the information,
• a parameter transmission step of transmitting the parameter to the information processing apparatus when the storage unit is determined in the determination step to store the parameter, and
• a printing step of printing the image based on the image data that has undergone the color correction and has been received from the information processing apparatus.
