Claim 11:
12. The printing device according to claim 11, further comprising:
a carriage supporting the head and configured to move in a moving direction,
wherein the head has a nozzle row including a plurality of nozzles aligned in a crossing direction crossing the moving direction, each nozzle being configured to eject ink, the nozzle row having a nozzle length in the crossing direction,
wherein the control device is configured to perform:
dividing the image represented by the image data into a plurality of regions, each region having a length in the crossing direction no greater than the nozzle length; and
acquiring a region-specific evaluation value for each region and for each conversion method, the region-specific evaluation value quantifying an evaluation for an image in the corresponding region to be printed on the printing medium having the indicated media type on the basis of data converted from color values for pixels in the corresponding region according to the corresponding conversion method, the region-specific evaluation value for each conversion method being based on one or more color-specific evaluation values corresponding to: the indicated media type; the conversion method; and one or more color values for one or more pixels included in the corresponding region,

wherein the image evaluation process acquires the image evaluation value for each conversion method on the basis of the region-specific evaluation values corresponding to the conversion method and all the plurality of regions included in the image.
