| 摘要 | A print control apparatus includes a generating unit that generates clear-toner plane data based on gloss-control plane data, which contains a gloss control value for specifying a type of a surface effect being a visual or a tactile effect applied to the recording medium and for specifying a region to which the surface effect is applied in the recording medium, and clear plane data, which contains a density value for specifying a transparent image other than the surface effect; and an outputting unit that outputs the clear-toner plane data. When a region where the gloss control value is specified in the gloss-control plane data and a region where the density value is specified in the clear plane data overlap each other, the generating unit sets a value of the clear-toner plane data to the gloss control value or the density value, based on a predetermined condition. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A print control apparatus that controls a printing device, wherein the printing device stores therein at least one color toner and at least one colorless clear toner and forms an image on a recording medium based on color plane data for attaching the color toner and clear-toner plane data for attaching the clear toner, the print control apparatus comprising: a generating unit that generates the clear-toner plane data based on gloss-control plane data and clear plane data, the gloss-control plane data containing a gloss control value for specifying a type of a surface effect being a visual or tactile effect applied to the recording medium and for specifying a region to which the surface effect is applied in the recording medium, and the clear plane data containing a density value for specifying a transparent image other than the surface effect; and an outputting unit that outputs the clear-toner plane data, wherein when a region where the gloss control value is specified in the gloss-control plane data and a region where the density value is specified in the clear plane data overlap each other, the generating unit sets a value of the clear-toner plane data to either the gloss control value specified in the gloss-control plane data or the density value specified in the clear plane data, based on a predetermined condition. | ||
