    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that outline characters and the thickness of lines differ from color plates in a formed image when processing conditions differ from color to color in an image forming device. SOLUTION: The four-drum type MFP detects unshaded lines included by image data to be processed at Step S1201 and background colors of the unshaded lines at Step S1202. At Step S1203, by referring to a table on the basis of the size of the unshaded lines and the background colors, the printer computes the thickening amount of the unshaded lines in the image data, and thickens the picture elements on the basis of the thickening amount at Step S1204.

    Abstract: When color materials of more than four colors are used, a signal for the amount of toner used within a range appropriate for the apparatus and toner characteristic is generated using a color separation table. However, a printer receives print data of various formats, such as image data separated into signal values of more than four colors, or image data of a special format to which a six-color separation table cannot be applied. Hence, an image signal representing a combination of colors is input. The sum of the signal values of colors in each pixel of the image signal is calculated and compared with a limit value. When the sum exceeds the limit value, the signal values of base colors are replaced with that of a spot color based on a replacement table for replacing the signal values of the base colors with that of the spot color.
