AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing printing technologies require users to specify the ejection amount for each nozzle array of different ink types, which is cumbersome and inefficient.
Method used
A printing apparatus with multiple nozzle arrays sharing the ejection of a second ink, controlled by a system that determines discharge amounts based on a specified value input, allowing the sharing ratio to change according to user input, simplifying the process and ensuring efficient ink application.
Benefits of technology
The system automatically determines discharge amounts for multiple nozzle arrays, reducing user complexity and preventing ink bleeding by ensuring adequate pretreatment agent availability, thus enhancing printing quality.

Abstract
To provide an information processing system that can be easily used by a user because a discharge quantity does not have to be designated in each of a plurality of nozzle arrays in the case that there are the plurality of nozzle arrays for discharging the same kind of ink.SOLUTION: A printer 3 is provided with a recording head 13 including a nozzle array 17c for discharging cyan ink, and a nozzle array 17oc1 and a nozzle array 17oc2 for discharging an overcoat agent, and discharging of the overcoat agent is shared by the nozzle array 17oc1 and the nozzle array 17oc2. A printer driver 5 displays an ink density designation screen 40 that can input a designation value related to a discharge quantity of the overcoat agent. The printer driver 5 acquires designation ink density. The printer driver 5 respectively determines discharge quantities of the overcoat agent in the nozzle array 17oc1 and the nozzle array 17oc2 so as to change a sharing ratio of discharging of the overcoat agent according to the designation ink density.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
