Abstract
A printing device includes a printing engine, a storage unit, and a controller. The printing engine prints on a printing medium. The storage unit stores an overall patch image including patches for color calibration for printing an image based on image data. The patches include basic patches corresponding to predetermined colors. The overall patch image has a first patch area in which the basic patches are arranged and a second patch area different from the first patch area. The controller performs: generating a specified patch that is a patch for a color specified by a user in a preview image corresponding to the image; and printing the overall patch image using the printing engine. In a case where the specified patch is generated, in the printing the generated specified patch is printed in the first patch area and one of the basic patches is printed in the second patch area.
