Color conversion conditions corresponding to medium types belonging to the same group as a selected representative type are collectively updated based on calibration results. It is judged whether or not there is a fluctuating factor concerning color reproduction characteristics between a print medium that is used at present in the calibration and a print medium that was used in the past. If a fluctuating factor is determined to exist, then only the color converting condition corresponding to the representative type is updated.
A printing condition setting apparatus for setting color conversion conditions for respective types of print mediums on which an image is produced with a printing apparatus, comprising:
A printing condition setting method to be carried out by a printing condition setting apparatus for setting color conversion conditions for respective types of print mediums on which an image is produced with a printing apparatus, comprising the steps of:
A non-transitory storage medium storing therein a program for setting color conversion conditions for respective types of print mediums on which an image is produced with a printing apparatus, the program enabling a computer to carry out the steps of:

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a printing condition setting apparatus, a printing condition setting method, and a non-transitory storage medium for setting color conversion conditions for respective types of print mediums.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a print production system incorporating a raster image processor (RIP) as a printing condition setting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of a color chart shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an electric block diagram of the RIP shown in FIG. 1;
A printing condition setting method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention in relation to a printing condition setting apparatus, a non-transitory storage medium, and a print production system for carrying out the printing condition setting method will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows in block form a print production system 10 incorporating therein a RIP (Raster Image Processor) 12 as a printing condition setting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the print production system 10 basically includes, in addition to the RIP 12, a printing apparatus 14, a DTP (DeskTop Publishing) apparatus 16, and a server 18. The RIP 12, the DTP apparatus 16, and the server 18 are connected to each other electrically through a wired or wireless link.
From the US filing history. Foreign family members aren’t listed.
Image enhancement: adjusting colours
Post-processing of the composed and rasterized print image: for fitting to an output condition, e.g. paper colour or format
Processing of colour picture signals: colour correction or control
Controlled by characteristics of the picture signal generator or the picture reproducer: using test pattern analysis
