Abstract:
1. A print control device comprising: a processor configured to control a print execution unit to print an image on a recording sheet while performing a main scanning in which a print head moves in one of a first main scanning direction and a second main scanning direction opposite to the first main scanning direction, wherein the processor is configured to operate as: wherein the plurality of blocks includes a boundary block representing an image portion located adjacent to a boundary of the unit region and an internal block representing an image portion located apart from the boundary of the unit region; wherein the determining unit is configured to determine that the specific condition is satisfied for the boundary block when the index value of the boundary block indicates that the estimated amount is larger than a first value; wherein the determining unit is configured to determine that the specific condition is satisfied for the internal block when the index value of the internal block indicates that the estimated amount is larger than a second value, the second value being larger than the first value; and wherein the print execution unit is configured to print the image on the recording sheet by controlling the print head to eject the ink droplets based on the converted gradation values representing the plurality of pixels included in each block.
