LIQUID CONSUMPTION AMOUNT PREDICTION DEVICE, LIQUID CONSUMPTION AMOUNT PREDICTION METHOD, LIQUID CONSUMPTION AMOUNT PREDICTION PROGRAM, AND RECORD MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid consumption amount prediction device capable of precisely predicting the amount of liquid consumption in a short time in a printer which performs printing by ejecting liquid.;SOLUTION: The liquid consumption amount prediction device includes: a pixel value acquisition part that acquires pixel values of pixels which are discretely selected from a piece of image data in which each pixel has a pixel value; and a consumption amount prediction part that predicts the liquid consumption amount when an image represented by the image data is printed using a printer which performs printing by ejecting liquid based on the pixel values acquired by the pixel value acquisition part. The pixel value acquisition part is capable of changing selection pattern for discretely selecting pixels from the image data.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2;COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT
