Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire physical property information on physical properties of a recording medium and physical properties of 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; derive an action amount using the physical property information and the setting information, the action amount relating to action of the recording medium applied by the ink ejected onto the recording medium; and output the action amount.

Claims (37)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to:

acquire physical property information on physical properties of a recording medium and physical properties of 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;

derive an action amount using the physical property information and the setting information, the action amount relating to action of the recording medium applied by the ink ejected onto the recording medium, wherein the processor derives, as the action amount, a deformation amount of the recording medium due to swelling; and

output the action amount.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor derives the deformation amount using a total permeation amount of the ink that has permeated the recording medium and rigidity of the recording medium.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor derives the total permeation amount of the ink using an image density included in the setting information and a permeation coefficient of the ink for the recording medium.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the processor gives notice that a quality of an image to be formed on the recording medium is low.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the processor derives corrected setting information with which the action amount is equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold value and gives notice of the corrected setting information.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the processor gives notice that a quality of an image to be formed on the recording medium is low.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the processor derives corrected setting information with which the action amount is equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold value and gives notice of the corrected setting information.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the processor gives notice that a quality of an image to be formed on the recording medium is low.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the processor derives corrected setting information with which the action amount is equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold value and gives notice of the corrected setting information.

10. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to:

acquire physical property information on physical properties of a recording medium and physical properties of 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;

derive an action amount using the physical property information and the setting information, the action amount relating to action of the recording medium applied by the ink ejected onto the recording medium; and

output the action amount,

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

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the processor derives corrected setting information with which the action amount is equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold value and gives notice of the corrected setting information.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the processor corrects the setting information to achieve the action amount equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold value.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein,

in a case where the action amount exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the processor corrects the setting information to achieve the action amount equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold value.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein

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

15. 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 physical properties of 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;

deriving an action amount using the physical property information and the setting information, the action amount relating to action of the recording medium applied by the ink ejected onto the recording medium, wherein the action amount is derived as a deformation amount of the recording medium due to swelling; and

outputting the action amount.
