• calculating an image characteristic amount included in the color image based on the color information for each of the pixels that make up the color image, and determining an injection amount of the pigment ink to be injected along with the dye ink at the pixel positions based on the image characteristic amount;
• and
• sending the injection amount of the pigment ink to be injected along with the dye ink, along with the injection amount of the dye ink of each of the colors with respect to the positions of the pixels that make up the color image to the printing mechanism.
