  • Patent number: 9069319
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus for generating plate data used to generate image data in an image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a designating unit configured to designate a rendering object; a surface-effect receiving unit configured to receive a type of a surface effect imparted to the rendering object; a plate data generating unit configured to generate the plate data so that the type of the surface effect is imparted to a region in which the rendering object is to be rendered in a recording medium and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the plate data to the print processing apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8842338
    Abstract: In a printer driver, combinations of standard print conditions and standard render data are saved as standard patterns, and combinations of standard print conditions and standard render data used for exceptional settings are saved as print application patterns. The print application patterns and the standard patterns are associated with each other. When printing document data, print condition data and render data are spooled by each page, the standard print conditions and the standard render data are compared, and a most similar standard pattern is detected. The print application pattern corresponding to the detected standard pattern is referred to, and print conditions are generated by combining standard print conditions and print conditions of the document data for each page. From the render data of the document data or from the standard render data, print data that can be processed by the printer is generated.

  • Patent number: 7301669
    Abstract: A color printing apparatus includes a printer driver for receiving a print instruction of print data issued from an application program, and for rasterizing the print data to produce con-tone/multi-bits bitmap data and bi-tone/single-bit bitmap data; a page memory for independently storing thereinto both the con-tone/multi-bits bitmap data and the bi-tone/single-bit bitmap data; a control unit for executing a control operation in such a manner that the con-tone/multi-bits bitmap data is converted into con-tone/multi-bits print data, the bi-tone/single-bit bitmap data is converted into bi-tone/single-bit print data, and at least one of the con-tone/multi-bits print data-and the bi-tone/single-bit print data is stored into the page memory in a bitmap format; and an output control unit for reading at least any one of the con-tone/multi-bits print data and the bi-tone/single-bit print data from the page memory, and for logically synthesizing the print data with each other to output the synthesized print data to a
