Image forming apparatus and system configured to perform color correction based on medium type

摘要

Upon receiving information that indicates the type of printing medium from an information processing apparatus, a printing apparatus determines whether a parameter corresponding to the type of printing medium indicated by the information is stored. When it is determined that the parameter is stored, the printing apparatus transmits the parameter to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus performs color correction for image data using the parameter received from the printing apparatus. The information processing apparatus transmits the color-corrected image data to the printing apparatus, and the printing apparatus prints an image based on the color-corrected image data.

主权项

1. A print system comprising an information processing apparatus and a printing apparatus which prints an image on a printing medium based on image data transmitted from the information processing apparatus,
the printing apparatus comprising: a storage unit configured to store a parameter for performing color correction corresponding to a type of the printing medium for the image data, and the type of the printing medium in correspondence with each other; a reception unit configured to receive information indicating the type of the printing medium from the information processing apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine, based on the information received from the information processing apparatus, whether the storage unit stores the parameter corresponding to the type of the printing medium indicated by the information; a parameter transmission unit configured to transmit the parameter to the information processing apparatus in a case where the determination unit determines that the storage unit stores the parameter; and a printing unit configured to print the image based on the image data that has undergone the color correction and has been received from the information processing apparatus, and the information processing apparatus comprising: a transmission unit configured to transmit the information indicating the type of the printing medium to the printing apparatus; a color correction unit configured to perform the color correction for the image data using the parameter received from the printing apparatus; and an image data transmission unit configured to transmit the image data having undergone the color correction by the color correction unit to the printing apparatus.
