Next, the values of Xf, Yf, and Zf (tristimulus values of the foreground color) for calculating the final overprint prediction values in the above Equations (1) to (3) are obtained using the spot color 2 chart (step S930). Specifically, the values of Xf, Yf, and Zf are obtained by colorimetry of the patch PA92 (see 
Finally, the values obtained in steps S910 to S930 are substituted into the above Equations (1) to (3), whereby the tristimulus values X, Y, and Z as overprint prediction values are calculated (step S940). This corresponds to, for example, calculating, as the value of K, the ordinate value of the straight line L91 in
