Printing system and printing method

A printing system comprising:

• a plurality of printing devices;
• a common profile section having a common profile that, in a device-independent first color system, converts image data of a color space that is representable by the first color system into image data of a color space that is commonly representable by the plurality of printing devices;
• a first conversion section that converts first image data representing an image to be printed into second image data by using the common profile, the image being represented by the first color system;
• a second conversion section that converts the second image data into third image data by using an output profile, the third image data being image data of a second color system that depends on a specific printing device designated from among the plurality of printing devices, the output profile being unique to the designated specific printing device;
• and
• a print instruction section that outputs the third image data to the designated printing device to print the third image data.
