Abstract
After obtaining printing data, a user is allowed to specify regions whose amounts of ink consumed are estimated using high-resolution images, by which two regions (high-resolution estimation areas and low-resolution estimation areas) are set in a printing region. Thereafter, the amounts of ink (first amounts of ink) consumed are estimated using the high-resolution images regarding the regions set as the high-resolution estimation areas, and the amounts of ink (second amounts of ink) consumed are estimated using low-resolution images regarding the regions set as the low-resolution estimation areas. Finally, the total amount of ink consumed by printing is calculated from the first amounts of ink and the second amounts of ink.
