摘要： An information processing apparatus of the present invention determines whether or not there is a bias in jobs distributed to a plurality of printers to be used in a distributed printing system. In addition, in a case where there is a bias in distributed jobs, the information processing apparatus decides a color correction target to be applied to a printer having a small number of distributed jobs and resulting in an unused state, applies the decided color correction target to the printer having a small number of jobs, to thereby decide a timing of performing color adjustment on the printer having a small number of jobs. The printer having a small number of jobs and resulting in an unused state is subjected to color adjustment at the decided timing.

摘要： A control apparatus includes a controller. The controller obtains a job which is executed by a print apparatus and which is corresponded to document image data. The controller obtains read image data of a color sample corresponding to the document image data from a scanner. The controller determines whether correction of the scanner and/or the print apparatus is necessary based on the read image data. The controller corrects the scanner and/or the print apparatus based on a result of determination. The controller generates a color conversion parameter regarding a color conversion of the document image data based on a profile corresponding to the scanner and/or the print apparatus after correction, the document image data, and the read image data.

摘要： A control apparatus receives designation of one or more colors to be adjusted in a printed image and input of one or more adjustment values of the designated colors. The printed image is an image output by a printer based on printing image data. The control apparatus makes a color adjustment of the printing image data based on the designated colors and the input adjustment values. The control apparatus includes a hardware processor which makes a determination as to whether or not a number of the colors designated is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and if it is determined that the number of the colors designated is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, recommends adjusting color reproducibility of the printer.

摘要： A color adjuster includes: a color specifier that specifies a color when an image former forms an image; a pre-modified candidate acquirer that obtains a calculated value to which a profile for forming an image is applied or a colorimetric value of an image forming result with respect to the color specified by the color specifier; a modification history database that stores the calculated value or the colorimetric value obtained by the pre-modified candidate acquirer, the calculated value and the colorimetric value being associated with a past modified value; a modified value determinator that determines a modified value of the calculated value or the colorimetric value obtained by the pre-modified candidate acquirer on the basis of the past modified value stored in the modification history database; and a modified value outputter that displays or outputs the modified value determined by the modified value determinator.

摘要： Provided are a print control apparatus and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a color calibration control program. A print control apparatus includes an information storage processing section which stores measured color values into a database which stores history information of color measurement, where the measured color values are obtained by measuring colors in a color chart by using a printing device. The print control apparatus further includes a color defining section which defines a specific color by referring to the database, and a color calibration controlling section which, while the printing device is processing a print job, causes the printing device to measure the specific color, determines whether to calibrate the printing device on the basis of a change with time in the measured color value of the specific color, and calibrates the printing device according to the determination result.
