Abstract

The invention is directed to a system including a host computer and a textile ink jet printer connected to each other via an interface. The system includes an input unit, a selection unit, an extraction unit, a designation unit and a print controller. The input unit inputs image data of a basic image, while the selection unit selects a design pattern for repeatedly arranging the basic image. The extraction unit extracts at least one design from the image data of the basic image. The designation unit designates whether or not to maintain the continuity of the extracted design in accordance with the selected design pattern, in a case where the ink jet printer restarts printing of the design pattern after interruption of a print operation of the design pattern. The print controller controls the ink jet printer to print the design pattern in accordance with a designation by the designation unit, in the case where the print operation of the design pattern is restarted. The continuity of printed basic images is controlled in accordance with the designation even if the print operation is interrupted.
