Abstract
Provided is a can manufacturing method, comprising: creating separation data by separating platemaking editing data for each ink color of a printing machine that performs printing on a surface of a can; and manufacturing a proof can by outputting an image corresponding to the platemaking editing data by an ink-jet printer based on the platemaking editing data or the separation data and a predetermined conversion rule, and arranging the image on a can surface, wherein the conversion rule has a rule to reproduce, by ink of the ink-jet printer, the ink color of the printing machine printed based on the separation data.

A can manufacturing method, comprising:
- creating separation data by separating platemaking editing data for each ink color of a printing machine that performs printing on a surface of a can;
- and
- manufacturing a proof can by outputting an image corresponding to the platemaking editing data by an ink-jet printer based on the platemaking editing data or the separation data and a predetermined conversion rule, and arranging the image on a can surface, wherein
- the conversion rule has a rule to reproduce, by ink of the ink-jet printer, the ink color of the printing machine printed based on the separation data.
A can manufacturing system, comprising:
- a printing machine which performs printing on a surface of a can;
- a separation data creation unit which creates separation data by separating platemaking editing data for each ink color of the printing machine;
- an ink-jet printer which outputs an image corresponding to the platemaking editing data based on the platemaking editing data or the separation data and a predetermined conversion rule to manufacture a proof can on which the image is arranged on a can surface, wherein
- the conversion rule has a rule to reproduce, by ink of the ink-jet printer, the ink color of the printing machine printed based on the separation data.
