Abstract:
1. A printing condition setting apparatus for setting color conversion conditions for respective types of print mediums on which an image is produced with a printing apparatus, comprising: a representative type selector for selecting a representative type to be used in a calibration on the printing apparatus from among two or more medium types that have been classified into a group; a color conversion condition updater for collectively updating color conversion conditions corresponding to the medium types belonging to the same group as the representative type selected by the representative type selector, based on a result of the calibration; and a fluctuating factor determiner for judging whether or not there is a fluctuating factor concerning color reproduction characteristics between a print medium that is used at present in the calibration and a print medium that was used in the past, wherein the color conversion condition updater updates only the color conversion condition corresponding to the representative type if the fluctuating factor determiner determines that the fluctuating factor exists.
