Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire physical property information on physical properties of a recording medium and on physical properties of an ink to be ejected onto the recording medium and setting information on a setting of a device configured to eject the ink onto the recording medium, the ink including a first ink and a second ink, derive an action amount using the physical property information and the setting information, the action amount relating to an action of the second ink ejected at a position different from a position where the first ink is ejected, the second ink ejected being acted upon by behavior of the first ink, and output the action amount.

Claims (44)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

acquiring physical property information on physical properties of a recording medium and on physical properties of an ink to be ejected onto the recording medium and setting information on a setting of a device configured to eject the ink onto the recording medium, the ink including a first ink and a second ink,

deriving an action amount using the physical property information and the setting information, the action amount relating to an action of the second ink ejected at a position different from a position where the first ink is ejected, the second ink ejected being acted upon by behavior of the first ink, and

outputting the action amount, wherein

a movement amount of the second ink is derived, as the action amount, using a gap width of the first ink, and

the gap width of the first ink is derived using a wetting and spreading width of the first ink.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the movement amount of the second ink is derived using a remaining amount of the second ink on the recording medium.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 2 , wherein

the remaining amount of the second ink is derived using at least one of the wetting and spreading width of the first ink, an image density of the first ink, and a permeation amount of the second ink.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a user is notified that a quality of an image to be formed on the recording medium is poor.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 4 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, corrected setting information with which the action amount is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value is derived, and notice of the corrected setting information is given.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 4 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the setting information is corrected to achieve the action amount equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6 , wherein,

at least one of a printing speed and an image density included in the setting information is corrected to achieve the action amount equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

acquiring physical property information on physical properties of a recording medium and on physical properties of an ink to be ejected onto the recording medium and setting information on a setting of a device configured to eject the ink onto the recording medium, the ink including a first ink and a second ink,

deriving an action amount using the physical property information and the setting information, the action amount relating to an action of the second ink ejected at a position different from a position where the first ink is ejected, the second ink ejected being acted upon by behavior of the first ink, and

outputting the action amount, wherein

a movement amount of the second ink is derived, as the action amount, using a remaining amount of the second ink on the recording medium.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein

the remaining amount of the second ink is derived using at least one of a wetting and spreading width of the first ink, an image density of the first ink, and a permeation amount of the second ink.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a user is notified that a quality of an image to be formed on the recording medium is poor.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

acquiring physical property information on physical properties of a recording medium and on physical properties of an ink to be ejected onto the recording medium and setting information on a setting of a device configured to eject the ink onto the recording medium, the ink including a first ink and a second ink,

deriving an action amount using the physical property information and the setting information, the action amount relating to an action of the second ink ejected at a position different from a position where the first ink is ejected, the second ink ejected being acted upon by behavior of the first ink, and

outputting the action amount, wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a user is notified that a quality of an image to be formed on the recording medium is poor.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, corrected setting information with which the action amount is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value is derived, and notice of the corrected setting information is given.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the setting information is corrected to achieve the action amount equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein,

at least one of a printing speed and an image density included in the setting information is corrected to achieve the action amount equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, corrected setting information with which the action amount is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value is derived, and notice of the corrected setting information is given.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the setting information is corrected to achieve the action amount equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16 , wherein,

at least one of a printing speed and an image density included in the setting information is corrected to achieve the action amount equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value.
