Abstract:
A printing device prints a patch chart including a plurality of first patches having a predetermined color and one or more second patches having a user specified color. A measuring member measures a color of a patch. The patch chart includes a plurality of patch columns having two or more patches among the plurality of patches arranged linearly. In a case that a patch column of the plurality of patch columns includes a second patch of the plurality of second patches, a controller performs a calibration process to calibrate the measuring member by controlling the measuring member to measure a color of a reference; and after the calibration process is completed, a color measurement process for a patch included in the patch column including the second patch, the color measurement process for the patch being to control the measuring member to measure a color of the patch.
