Ink control apparatus, printer, and printing method

摘要

An image is created from PPF data and the image is displayed. An operator selects one or more areas from the displayed image in which color adjustment is to be performed. An arithmetic unit (12) adjusts a quantity of each ink component to be supplied to the areas selected by the operator based on standard quantities of ink for each ink component. The arithmetic unit (12), for example, adds or subtracts certain values from the standard quantities. An ink supply device (102, 202, 302, 402) correspond to each ink component prints the image on a paper based on the quantity of each ink component adjusted by the arithmetic unit (12).
