A RIP simulation device that enables a rapid grasp of a part having a problem in RIP speed and a specific detail of the problem is achieved. While the RIP prediction screen is displayed on a display unit, the result display control unit causes the display unit to display a sheet number corresponding to a position that is on a line graph representing a predicted RIP time for each sheet and is being designated by an input operation unit. When a sheet number displayed on the display unit is selected by the input operation unit, the result display control unit causes the display unit to display an analysis result screen indicating an analysis result related to the page corresponding to the sheet number on the basis of the correspondence relationship between sheets and pages when print output is actually executed.

RIP simulation device and recording medium having RIP simulation program recorded thereon

After specifying a processing target (target data), a requirement for printing is set. A simulation of a RIP process is performed on the target data under a plurality of printing conditions which are set in advance. Then, based on simulation results, a print-target identifying record is registered in a continuous printing list so as to satisfy the set requirement. After rearranging print-target identifying records registered in the continuous printing list, continuous printing is performed based on the continuous printing list.

Printing method

A method for processing print data includes a matching processing step of performing pattern matching between a streak detection pattern including a streak pattern having a width of one pixel and print data after a RIP process, a length measurement step of determining, when matching is established in the matching processing step, a length of a streak candidate part including a part corresponding to the streak pattern in a region where matching is established and a part continuous in an extending direction of the streak pattern and having a same value as a data value of the streak pattern, in the print data, and a determination step of determining whether or not the streak candidate part is white streak data that possibly results in a streak, by comparing the length determined in the length measurement step against a predetermined threshold.
