20090185232 | Printing control device, printing system and printing control program - A color difference ΔE between a target color value expressed by color measurement data MD obtained by measuring colors of a target TG under plural light sources and an estimation color value obtained when a printer performs printing on the basis of an ink amount set φ is calculated for each of the light sources. When the color difference can be calculated for each of the light sources, an evaluation value E (φ) obtained by linear combination of the color differences is calculated. In addition, the ink amount set φ is calculated as an optimum solution for minimizing the evaluation value E (φ). | 07-23-2009 |
