Abstract
An image on the original to be printed on a print sheet P by a printing machine is scanned by a scanner, and the data is edited by an editing section. The edited data is converted from the data dependent on the device (printing machine) to data not dependent on the device with the use of a device profile P which a converter has. A luminous-environment conversion circuit compensates the data sent from the converter according to the data corresponding to surrounding light, output from a sensor S , and data related to the paper color of the print sheet P , output from the sensor S . Another luminous-environment conversion circuit compensates input data according to the paper color of a print sheet P in a printer or surrounding-light data, output from sensors S and S . Another converter converts the output of the luminous-environment conversion circuit to data dependent on the printer and the data is printed on the print sheet P by the printer.
