Abstract
Conventionally, it has not been possible to perform detailed printing control in accordance with a purpose, such as the improvement in density and the improvement in rubfastness, by taking into consideration a slight difference in the kind of paper (slight difference in the receptive layer), such as matte paper and glossy paper. An information processing apparatus for determining a printing medium having a receptive layer has a transmitted light information acquisition unit configured to acquire information on transmitted light by irradiating a printing medium on which a determination image is printed with light, and a surface characteristics determination unit configured to determine the surface characteristics of the printing medium on which the determination image is printed based on the information on transmitted light.
