The present invention aims at providing a printing system and technique correctly reflecting supplied color information, and a technique of managing color information in a centralized manner thereby facilitating maintenance of data. The printing system has a color information database DB in which color information is registered, and the color information has respective items of "color name", "ink name", "printing order", "screen angle", "process colorization instruction", "pseudo color" and "ink type". In print processing, it acquires a color name specified as the color of a prescribed area in digital data subjected to printing, and retrieves and extracts color information corresponding thereto from the color information registered in the color information database DB. Then, it performs raster image processing and performs print processing on the basis of the extracted color information. Also in confirmation output, it performs similar processing with the color information database DB managed in a centralized manner.
