Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, since inks of specific colors can only be dispensed, and the order in which inks are ejected to a single pixel cannot be specified, there is a problem that there is a limit to the expressiveness of printed matter.

Embodiment approach 1

[0062] Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below.

[0063] A Structure of the printing system

[0064] First, the configuration of a printing system to which the present invention is applied will be described.

[0065] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the printing system.

[0066] exist figure 1 In this example, the printing device 100 and the print request terminal 200 that requests printing from the printing device 100 are connected by a communication cable to realize communication.

[0067] The printing device 100 has: a print control unit 10 for controlling printing; a communication unit 12 for transmitting and receiving data with the print request terminal 200; a storage unit 14 composed of HD capable of storing data or tables as files; The image forming unit 16 forms an image on printing paper.

[0068] The print control unit 10 is composed of the following: a CPU that controls the calculation and the entire sy...

Embodiment approach 2

[0167] Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described.

[0168] Figure 14 is a diagram showing the case where a circle is first drawn and then a quadrilateral is drawn on it.

[0169] In this embodiment, if Figure 14 As shown, the circle is drawn with color B, and the quadrilateral is drawn with color A overlaid.

[0170] In the print request terminal 200, if the form Figure 5 In the drawing data shown, bitmap data is generated for each drawing layer, the bitmap data is stored in the bitmap storage area, and the number M of drawing layers is stored in the drawing parameter storage area.

[0171] Figure 15 It is a diagram showing the data structure of the bitmap storage area and the drawing parameter storage area.

[0172] As a result, in the bitmap storage area that draws layer 1, as Figure 15 As shown in (a), the color information "B" is stored for each pixel constituting the circle, and in the bitmap storage area of ​​the drawing layer 2, as Figur...

Embodiment approach

[0178] In addition, in addition to the above-described Embodiments 1 and 2, the following modified examples are considered. (1) Figure 17 This is a diagram showing that a quadrilateral other than a circle is first drawn, and then a circle is drawn on it. According to this, at the boundary portion of the quadrilateral and the circle, the color C is obtained.

[0179] (2) Figure 18 Yes is a diagram showing a case where a circle is first drawn, and then a quadrilateral other than the circle is drawn on it. Accordingly, the color D is acquired at the boundary portion between the quadrilateral and the circle.

[0180] (3) Figure 19 is a diagram showing a printing procedure.

[0181] like Figure 19 As shown, it is also possible to form a quadrilateral image with ink A and a circular image with ink B in parallel.

[0182] (4) Figure 20 It is a diagram showing a table defining priorities for ejecting ink.

[0183] When specifying drawing with a specific color in an appli...

Abstract

The invention provides a printing control system adapted to variety of perfermances of printing works. The printing control system can specify an order of ejecting the ink, generate print data for controlling the ejection of the ink every rank on the basis of the order, and eject a plurality of ink on the basis of the order so as to form single pixel by sequentially controlling the printer on the basis of the print data sequentially acquired from the first rank among the print data of all the ranks.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system, a program, and a method of a printing device that controls ejection of multiple types of inks to perform printing, and more particularly, to a printing control system, a printing request terminal, and a printing device that are suitable for realizing diversified expressiveness of printed matter And a print control program, and a print control method. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a technique of distributing a specific color ink to a color of a pixel specified on an OS (Operating System) when printing a plurality of types of ink including a specific color ink (Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H10-309834 [0004] However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, only specific color inks can be dispensed, and the order of ejecting inks to a single pixel cannot be specified, so there is a problem that ther...
