Abstract:
1. A printing controller for making a printer perform printing processing by sending print data, comprising: a region specifying unit configured to specify a region containing specific image data which is a target to be subjected to predetermined processing and is constituted by a same color and non-specific image data constituted by a color different from the same color in original data; a color determiner configured to determine whether or not each pixel has the same color in the region specified by the region specifying unit; a predetermined processor configured to apply the predetermined processing to the pixel determined by the color determiner to have the same color; a print data creating unit configured to create the print data on the basis of the original data subjected to the predetermined processing; and a color condition information storage unit configured to store a determination condition of color composition ratio for each ink color for determining to have the same color of the specific image data, wherein the color determiner determines that each pixel in the region specified by the region specifying unit has the same color if all the determination conditions for each ink color are satisfied, and wherein the specific image data is a barcode image and the predetermined processing is processing for reducing print density of the barcode image.
