In an example, a method includes obtaining, at a processor, data indicative of a color of each of a first plurality of generated color samples, wherein the color samples are generated using an initial set of sample generation instructions. It may be determined, by a processor, if a spatial distribution of the colors of the generated color samples corresponds to a predetermined spatial distribution in a first color space. When the spatial distribution of the color of the generated color samples does not correspond to the predetermined spatial distribution, the method may further comprise determining, by a processor, a new sample generation instruction. The new sample generation instruction may replace an initial sample generation instruction in the initial set of sample generation instructions to determine a modified set of sample generation instructions. The new sample generation instruction may be generated to increase a correspondence of the spatial distribution of colors of a second plurality of color samples generated using the modified set of sample generation instructions to the predetermined spatial distribution.

An information processing apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor and the at least one memory to act as a display unit configured to display, on a plurality of pages of an operation screen, a plurality of display objects for giving instructions to perform processing, and an acquisition unit configured to acquire use histories of the plurality of display objects. A number of display objects to be displayed on a single page of the operation screen among the plurality of display objects is determined based on at least the acquired use histories.

A terminal device includes: a printer driver execution unit that generates divided job execution data that causes a printer to perform printing; a terminal storage unit that stores divided job execution data generated by the printer driver execution unit; a determination unit that determines whether or not a predetermined aggregation condition is met; an aggregation unit that, when the determination unit determines that the predetermined aggregation condition is met, generates aggregated divided job execution data in which a plurality of divided job execution data stored in the terminal storage unit are aggregated; and a terminal communication unit that transmits the aggregated divided job execution data generated by the aggregation unit to the printer.

An apparatus includes a setting unit and a control unit. The setting unit performs a first print setting indicating a poster printing function that divides a single piece of image data into a plurality of pieces of image data and generates print jobs, and a second print setting indicating a correction function for correcting calculated gray values when an image processing apparatus converts a plurality of pieces of color image data to grayscale, based on a number of colors acquired from each of the plurality of pieces of color image data. The control unit restricts the setting unit from performing the first print setting and the second print setting. In a state where one of the first print setting and the second print setting is performed by the setting unit, the control unit controls the setting unit not to perform the other print setting.

A printer for printing on a long sheet includes a print data divider and a verification processor. The print data divider outputs a plurality of segments of divided print data divided at the boundary of areas from standard print data containing print contents in each of the areas obtained by dividing a standard sheet into a plurality of the areas. The verification processor compares the size of the long sheet with the size of the area included in the standard sheet and rotates the divided print data if it is determined from a result of the comparison that the rotation is necessary.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a set of program instructions including: (a) generating; (b) generating; (c) setting; and (d) displaying. The (a) generating generates a plurality of sets of print data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of print labels used in an overlaid state. The (b) generating generates a plurality of sets of medium type information for respective ones of the plurality of print labels. Each medium type information indicates a type of a printing medium used for creating a corresponding print label. The (c) setting sets a layering order for the plurality of print labels. The (d) displaying displays a list of the plurality of sets of medium type information on a display. The plurality of sets of medium type information is arranged in the layering order for the plurality of print labels corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of sets of medium type information.

The image formation control apparatus controls an image forming device to execute image forming on an image forming medium based on input image data by using a plurality of color materials including a plurality of chromatic color materials. An image formation control apparatus comprising: a table generating unit to generate a visibility improvement color table by performing color conversion into intermediate image data, performing histogram equalization processing on a brightness gradation value representing brightness of an image represented by the intermediate image data, and adjusting the brightness gradation value representing brightness of the intermediate image data; and an image formation control unit to generate an image forming job for performing the color conversion using the generated color table to form an image on an image forming medium.

An image forming device includes a processor configured to receive a correction from a user with respect to a process of printing a first document to be handled by the image forming device, and transmit correction information in a case where a predetermined condition is fulfilled, the predetermined condition indicating that a second document of which printing is to be handled by another image forming device is related to the first document, and the correction information causing the other image forming device to apply an effect of the correction to a process of printing the second document.

Provided is an industrial printing system that performs peer-to-peer distributed processing according to paper settings and imposition settings for production printing. A plurality of print servers performs distributed processing of a job. Each print server includes a storage unit, a job changing unit, and a processing management unit. The storage unit stores resource information related to paper setting and imposition setting of the plurality of print servers. The job changing unit changes the job suitable to other print server selected from the plurality of print servers based on the resource information stored in the storage unit. The processing management unit transmits the job changed by the job changing unit to the other print server and requests processing.

A printing management apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire an order quantity being a quantity of paper required for printing, acquire a stock quantity for each attribute of paper, the stock quantity being a quantity of paper having at least one or more attributes in common with attributes of the paper which is required for the printing and is in stock by a printer, and, when the order quantity is greater than the stock quantity and a sum of at least two stock quantities is equal to or greater than the order quantity, display the printer as a printer capable of accepting an order.
