Print control device and print control method

摘要

An inverse image data generating unit that generates inverse image data that indicates a transparent developer amount that indicates an amount of a transparent developer, and a region where the transparent developer amount is used, based on a color plane image data that indicates a color developer amount that indicates an amount of a color developer, and a region where the color developer amount is used; a conversion unit that converts the transparent developer amount of the inverse image data into a transparent developer amount larger than the transparent developer amount by referring to a conversion table; and a transparent developer plane image data generating unit that generates transparent developer plane image data used in image formation of a transparent developer in an image forming apparatus based on the inverse image data indicating a transparent developer amount after the conversion.

1. A print control device comprising:
a color plane image data acquisition unit configured to acquire a color plane image data used in an image forming apparatus and indicating a color developer amount that indicates an amount of one or more color developers, and a region where the color developer amount is used; an inverse image data generating unit configured to calculate a value obtained by subtracting a total amount of the one or more color developers allocated to the region from a predetermined value based on the color plane image data, and, by using a calculated value as an amount of a transparent developer used in the image forming apparatus, to generate inverse image data indicating a transparent developer amount that indicates the amount of a transparent developer, and a region where the transparent developer amount is used; a storage unit storing a conversion table configured to convert a first transparent developer amount into a second transparent developer amount determined based on the first transparent developer amount and larger than the first transparent developer amount; a conversion unit configured to convert the transparent developer amount of the inverse image data into the transparent developer amount larger than the transparent developer amount by referring to the conversion table; and a transparent developer plane image data generating unit configured to generate transparent developer plane image data used in image formation of the transparent developer in the image forming apparatus based on the inverse image data indicating the transparent developer amount after the conversion by the conversion unit.
