Abstract:
1. An output data creating device that creates output data to be used by an image formation device that forms an image on a recording medium based on input data representing image to be formed by the image formation device, the data creating device comprising: an output condition obtaining unit configured to obtain an output condition, which is information regarding a temperature of an environment where the image formation device is used or a material of the recording medium used by the image formation device and includes setting values for each of n (n being an integer greater than one) conditional items; a table storage unit configured to store a plurality of color conversion tables, each of the plurality of color conversion tables corresponding to a combination of representative values for the respective n conditional items used for converting the input data to the output data; a combined color converting unit configured to convert the input data based on the output condition and the plurality of color conversion tables stored in the table storage unit; and an output data creating unit that creates the output data based on the input data having been color-converted by the combined color converting unit, wherein the combined color converting unit creates an interpolating table that meets the output condition obtained by the output condition obtaining unit by interpolation based on the plurality of color conversion tables that store the same type of information and respectively correspond to 2
