Abstract:
1. A method for generation of a color correction parameter at plural times for a recording apparatus that records an image on a recording medium by a recording unit, the method being executed by a processor which is coupled to the recording apparatus, the method comprising: a first acquiring step for acquiring first information regarding a number of dots counted by a counting unit from a timing at which the recording unit was set in the recording apparatus; a first determining step for determining a threshold value based on the number of dots indicated by the first information acquired by the first acquiring step; a second acquiring step for acquiring second information regarding a number of dots counted by a counting unit from a timing of generation of previous color correction parameters; a second determining step for determining that it is necessary to generate subsequent color correction parameters in the case where the number of dots indicated by the second information acquired by the second acquiring step is greater than the threshold value determined by the first determining step; a notifying step for notifying a user of a result of the second determining step in the case where it is determined that it is necessary to generate the subsequent color correction parameters; and a patch recording step for causing the recording unit to record a plurality of patches.
