Abstract:
Provided are a controller, a color chart and a non-transitory recording medium. The color chart includes a first patch that is a halftone patch of first color, a second patch that is the halftone patch of the first color underlaid with a solid base of second color, and comparative patches prepared by increasing and decreasing the tone of the first color of the first patch and second patch, where the printed surface of the color chart is finished with transparent material. The controller calculates tone values or dot gains of the first patch and second patch based on the measured color values of the patches in the color chart, and determines the current condition of print and the current condition of a finished surface by using a comparison result of the tone values or dot gains of the first patch and second patch with respective reference values.

Claim (Index 13):
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-readable program executed in a controller of a printing system including a printer, a finisher that executes printed-surface finishing and a colorimeter, the program comprising instructions that when executed by a hardware processor of the controller causes the hardware processor to execute:\n obtaining measured color values of patches in a color chart from the colorimeter, wherein the color chart includes:\n a first patch that is a halftone patch of first color, \n a second patch that is the halftone patch of the first color underlaid with a solid base of second color, \n the second color is different from the first color, and \n a plurality of comparative patches including patches prepared by increasing and decreasing tone of the first color of the first patch and patches prepared by increasing and decreasing tone of the first color of the second patch, the color chart is printed by the printer and finished by the finisher with transparent material; \n calculating a tone value or dot gain of each of the first patch and the second patch based on the measured color values; and determining current condition of print given by the printer and current condition of a finished surface given by the finisher, by using a result of comparison of the tone values or the dot gains of the first patch and the second patch with respective reference values.
