Publication number: 20240069831Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a prescribed program causes a computer to execute a method including displaying a content to be printed based on print data, and executing, in a case where the print data does not include an object corresponding to first RGB values, a prescribed notification of not including the object corresponding to the first RGB values in the print data even though a first setting is being activated. The first setting is to print a first print region corresponding to the first RGB values in a print target image by using a first color represented by use of at least a specific color ink being an ink of a color other than a process color. In a case where the first setting is being activated and the print data includes the object corresponding to the first RGB values, the prescribed notification is not executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventor: Tetsuhide Takasaki
