Abstract
It is difficult to appropriately estimate the colorimetric values of an arbitrary patch at a desired temperature with respect to a medium containing a fluorescent whitening agent in consideration of the influence of the fluorescent whitening agent. A target temperature and media type are designated (S, S), patches of a plurality of colors are formed on a set medium, and a temperature immediately after fixing (second temperature), patch colorimetric values, and medium white colorimetric values are acquired (S, S). Medium white calorimetric values at the target temperature are generated based on the acquired medium white calorimetric values and medium white colorimetric values at a first temperature, which are acquired in advance (S). Patch calorimetric values at the target temperature are estimated based on the generated medium white colorimetric values and patch colorimetric values.
