Abstract:
A printing system for recording at least three different color inks, which are mixed to express hues in a predetermined range, on a printing object,wherein a density ratio of a specific color ink, which has highest lightness at a fixed recording ratio of a number of dots per unit area among said at least three different color inks, to the other color inks is determined, in order to enable a color balance to be biased to said specific color ink having the highest lightness in case that said specific color ink and the other color inks have an identical recording ratio of a number of dots per unit area, said printing system comprising: a printing head which prints with said color inks on said printing object; correction means for correcting a recording amount of said specific color ink having the highest lightness to a level that cancels said bias.
