Abstract

The user needs the skill to select a pixel interpolating process and a gradation converting process and it is difficult to select an optimum process adapted to desired printing quality. In a printing system using a computer system (10), by allowing a factor such as printing paper which exerts an influence on printing quality to be selected (step 400), the printing quality is estimated from the selected printing paper, a proper printing control which is preliminarily made correspond is selected (step 410), and a process is branched so as to execute the selected printing control (steps 420 to 450, steps 460 to 480), thereby enabling an optimum printing control to be performed.
