The disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a virtual label display process program for executing steps. The steps include a composite image generating step, a composite image output step, a determining step, and a notifying step. In the composite image generating step, a real image data of a desired field of view and a virtual image data of a label are combined. In the composite image output step, a composite image data is output to a display device, and a virtual image of the label on the display device is superimposed and displayed. In the determining step, it is determined whether a desired suitability is satisfied between an exterior appearance of a background object and an exterior appearance of the label based on the real image data and the virtual image data. In the notifying step, a predetermined suitability notification is made.

Information processing device, processing method of confirming special color, and processing program

An information processing device configured to make a printing device execute printing includes a storage section configured to store special color data representing a special color included in a print target image, and a processing section configured to make the printing device print a special color patch as a color patch of the special color included in the print target image based on the special color data to obtain a colorimetric value of the special color patch. Based on the print target image and the special color data, the processing section makes the printing device execute printing of the special color patch in accordance with output of a print image based on the print target image.
