20120075645 | COLOR SELECTION ASSISTING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, COLOR SELECTION ASSISTING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - At least one color patch, which is extracted as a candidate patch from within a color chart, is colorimetrically measured and a color value is acquired. Based on a color value of a designated color to be reproduced on a print and a color value of the candidate patch, a corresponding position on the color chart responsive to the color value of the designated color is calculated. Instruction mark images indicative of the calculated corresponding position are displayed respectively, together with a simulating image, in which a layout of multiple color patches on the color chart is simulated. | 03-29-2012 |
20120250044 | PRINT COLOR MANAGING APPARATUS, PRINT COLOR MANAGING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - Color management conditions concerning management of color accuracy in a printing apparatus are set, and colorimetric values of color patches printed as color specimens by the printing apparatus are acquired in association with a printing time of the color patches. An execution period for a calibration process on the printing apparatus is determined based on a plurality of colorimetric values, which are acquired at a plurality of printing times, and the color management conditions, which have been set. | 10-04-2012 |
20130148156 | PRINTING CONDITION DETERMINING APPARATUS, PRINTING CONDITION DETERMINING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A group of printing conditions, which have at least one condition item in common except for environmental condition items concerning a temperature and humidity environment for printing, is selected from among a plurality of printing conditions. A list image, which represents a line-up of visible information concerning the temperature and humidity environment depending on the environmental condition items, and which is included in the printing conditions of the selected group, is generated and displayed. | 06-13-2013 |
20140043626 | PRINT COLOR EVALUATING SYSTEM, PRINT COLOR EVALUATING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - Print data are generated so as to include an evaluation patch group, which has at least one evaluation color patch, the color of which was determined depending on the type of input color space characteristics used in a color conversion process on content data representing print content, and an identification color patch having a color inherent to the type of input color space characteristics. The type of input color space characteristics is identified based on a colorimetric value of the identification color patch on a print. Judgment conditions for color reproducibility are acquired depending on the type of input color space characteristics. | 02-13-2014 |
20140192371 | PRINTING CONDITION SETTING APPARATUS, PRINTING CONDITION SETTING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - 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. | 07-10-2014 |
20140198328 | COLOR PROCESSING METHOD, COLOR PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM - The shape of a target mark extracted from within a print sample and to be reproduced on a print is entered. A color chart is printed comprising multiple color patches in which the shape of the target mark is simulated. | 07-17-2014 |
20140293300 | PRINTING CONDITION SETTING APPARATUS, PRINTING CONDITION SETTING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - It is detected whether or not a print medium supplied to a printing apparatus has been replaced with a print medium of the same medium type within a period of time from a preceding calibration execution time to a present calibration execution time. A representative condition corresponding to a color conversion condition that is obtained at the present calibration execution time is corrected depending on the detected result. Based on the corrected representative condition, color conversion conditions corresponding to two or more medium types that belong to the same group as the representative type are corrected collectively. | 10-02-2014 |
20150277831 | PRINT PRODUCTION SYSTEM, PRINT PRODUCTION METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PRINT PRODUCTION PROGRAM, AND PRINTING MANAGEMENT SERVER - A print production system includes an order-receiving server and a printing management server. The order-receiving server transmits an electronic operation manual including ordering information to the printing management server. The printing management server classifies a plurality of items for identifying content of a print job to be carried out into specifiable items that can be specified uniquely according to the electronic operation manual, and unspecifiable items that cannot be specified uniquely according to the electronic operation manual. The printing management server also generates job information by determining content of one or more unspecifiable items according to guidelines, and stores the job information in association with a management identifier of the print job. | 10-01-2015 |
