PRINTING METHOD, PRINTED MATTER, AND PRINTING CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

The color densities of patches included in a control strip (9) are measured, and printing is controlled according to the color densities. The patches are arranged in the direction in which ink keys of a printer are arranged. The patches include black, cyan, magenta, and yellow representative patches (9K, 9C, 9M, 9Y) having half-tone dot area ratios per unit area in the range of 6 0% to 85% for every width of one ink key. The printing is controlled so that th e color densities of four representative patches (9K, 9C, 9M, 9Y) may be in predetermined color density ranges for every width of one ink key.
