PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of color shift caused by a variation of quantity of recording material to be affixed on a printing medium in accordance with printing position. SOLUTION: In printing apparatus 30, there comes about deflection between a color ink quantity planed in accordance with printing position and an actually affixed color ink quantity caused by differences and the like, so called, a platen gap, resulting in color shift depending on printing position; however, a printing control device 20 allows the printing apparatus 30 to print a predetermined calibration pattern so as to detect the aforementioned deflection depending on the printing position. In addition, deflection depending on a printing position is obtained on the basis of the calibration pattern; then correcting the printing data in a manner canceling the deflection. As such, color shift depending on the printing position can be solved. |
