Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a method of adding a gloss control table, first base material information formed from a first gloss control table of a first base material and a first pattern measurement value of a test pattern formed on the first base material, and second base material information formed from a second gloss control table of a second base material and a second pattern measurement value of a test pattern formed on the second base material, are stored in the storage unit. The method includes: measuring a pattern of new base material for measuring the test pattern formed using a predetermined amount of ink of a new recording medium, and interpolating the gloss control tables for obtaining a new gloss control table of the new base material using a predetermined measured value interpolation method based on the first base material information and the second base material information.
