1. A method for printing a decorative print sheet, the decorative print sheet including a printing medium and an adhering material that is bonded to a bottom surface of the printing medium, the method comprising: measuring color information for a top surface of the adhering material which is bonded to a bottom surface of the printing medium; determining a difference between the measured color information and a color information reference value associated with the adhering material; generating printing image data for the decorative print sheet; and printing on a top surface of the printing medium using the printing image data; wherein if the difference between the measured color information and the color information reference value is not within an allowable range, the printing image data is generated by a correction processing of the printing image data, wherein the correction processing adjusts the printing image data to account for an effect of the measured color of the top surface of the adhering material on a color of the decorative print sheet; and if the difference is within an allowable range, the printing image data is generated without the correction processing.
