2. Description of the Related Art
A print preview technique for previously displaying a print result of document data printed with color materials, such as toner and ink, on a base material (printing substrate), such as a paper medium, a transparent film, or a cloth medium, by using an image forming apparatus, such as a printer, on-screen on a display device, such as a display, has been known. Such a conventional print preview technique can be used, for example, to preview a print result when the position or lighting direction of a light source is changed.
Some print processes perform transfer and fixing a plurality of times by using special color materials (such as white toner and clear toner) as well as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) process colors. A print result of such print processes has been unable to be previewed by the conventional print preview technique before actual printing.
