INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18319423 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that prevents spot color printing from producing unintended results.

  • The apparatus identifies a specific region in the print data where spot color printing is specified.
  • It then checks if the surrounding pixels contain a color that closely matches the spot color and has a color difference within a predetermined threshold.
  • The purpose is to ensure that the spot color printing outcome aligns with the user's intention.
  • This technology aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of spot color printing.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of inhibiting a spot color printing result from turning out not as intended by a user, as well as a control method and a storage medium. To this end, a pixel region for which spot color printing is specified is identified in print data, and it is determined whether pixels surrounding the identified pixel region include a pixel which is in a color approximating to the spot color and whose color difference from the spot color equals or falls below a predetermined value.
