Abstract: A determination device includes a first instructing unit, a first acquiring unit, a correcting unit, a predicting unit, a second instructing unit, a second acquiring unit, and a determining unit. The predicting unit predicts a measurement value of a multicolor patch image included in a second patch column to be output by an image output device, the second patch column being acquired after the correcting unit corrects tone values in a first patch column. The second acquiring unit acquires the measurement value of the multicolor patch image measured by performing, by a user, an operation of a measurement device along the second patch column output by the image output device. The determining unit determines whether the operation performed by the user is appropriate on a basis of the measurement value acquired by the second acquiring unit and the measurement value predicted by the predicting unit.
