Original Abstract Submitted
A printing device performs, as preparation process, specifies the first feature color and the second feature color from the first captured image data of the medium, generating binary image data with a first color and a second color by binarization of the first pattern image data, generating second pattern image data by replacing the first color of the binary image data with the first feature color and replacing the second color with the second feature color, and setting a feature point for an edge of a pattern in the second pattern image data, and print production process has calculating a correction value of the feature point required to match the shape of the pattern in the second pattern image data with the shape of the pattern in the second captured image data, deforming the colored image by applying the correction value, and printing the colored image after the deformation.
