Abstract
In a printing device, a print head performs printing based on image data. The image data represents an original image including a plurality of original pixels. The controller displays a preview image based on the image data. In the preview image, each preview-image pixel corresponds to one of the plurality of original pixels and has a color based on a color of the corresponding original pixel. The controller receives information on a preview-image pixel specified by a user. The controller sets an expanded region in the original image on the basis of a printing resolution. The expanded region includes original pixels having an original pixel corresponding to the specified preview pixel. The controller generates patch chart print data based on color values of original pixels in the expanded region. The controller controls the print head to print the patch chart image.
