摘要： In an ink-jet printing device which has an ink-jet recording head in which a plurality of nozzles are formed, and forms an image based on multi-level image data, a gamma correction parameter is selected according to discharging characteristics of the recording head to an input gradation level or according to lightness characteristics of a printed image to an input gradation level, and an image is formed based on the selected gamma correction parameter. For example, even when there is a variation in lightness characteristics of recording heads as in FIG. 9, an optimal gamma correction parameter is selected for each recording head and the image is formed. Thus, a constant image quality is obtained even if the recording heads are exchanged.

摘要： An image processing method performs processing to generate image data based on input data and output the image data to an image forming device. The image forming device includes a printing head in which first nozzles for ejecting color ink drops are arranged in a symmetrical formation to forward and backward scanning directions and second nozzles for ejecting black or gray ink drops are arranged in an unsymmetrical formation with respect to the first nozzles. The image forming device is adapted to perform a uni-directional printing or a bidirectional printing with the printing head. In the image processing method, a black generation processing to the input data is performed, and when performing the black generation processing, a black-generation start level for the bidirectional printing is delayed to a shadow-side gradation level from a black-generation start level for the uni-directional printing.

摘要： An image processing method for processing image data to be output by an image forming apparatus is disclosed. The image forming apparatus is configured to form a tone pattern on a recording medium by forming an arrangement of dots on the recording medium. The arrangement of dots is formed on the recording medium by jetting a recording liquid from a recording head while moving the recording head in a main scanning direction a plurality of times and intermittently conveying the recording medium in a sub-scanning direction that perpendicularly intersects the main scanning direction. The method includes the step of generating a mask pattern for moving the recording head in the main scanning direction and forming the dots in an inconsecutive order on the recording medium.
