Disclosed is an image interface device connected to a so-called digital copying machine for inputting from and outputting to an external unit, such as a computer system or a communication unit, both multilevel and binary image data. The digital copying machine performs various image processings on the image data output from a scanner for photoelectrically reading an image using a CCD or the like and supplies the processed image data to a printer, such as an ink jet printer, for printing. When the image data is input from the digital copying machine, the multilevel or binary data combined by a multilevel and binary data separating/combining circuit is input through the same data bus controlled by an I/F control circuit. When the multilevel or binary image data is output to the digital copying machine, the data is output through the same data bus, as in the case of inputting the image data. That is, when the multilevel image data is to be output, it is sent from the I/F control circuit to the multilevel and binary data separating/combining circuit and is output as multilevel image data. When the binary image data is to be output, it is output from the multilevel and binary data separating/combining circuit as binary image data.

There is described a color image processing apparatus in which time-sequential color image signals are converted into parallel by a delay circuit, then subjected to a desired image processing and again converted into time-sequential color image signals, thus achieving image processing in a simple inexpensive circuit.

An image processing apparatus for recording image data using an ink jet recording method comprises: an ink jet nozzle to eject an ink droplet and deposit onto a paper; a controller to control the ink jet nozzle so as to enable the recording interval when the ink droplet is deposited on the same position on the paper a plurality of times; a supply circuit to supply image data to the ink jet nozzle; and a distinction circuit to discriminate whether the input image data is a half tone image or a diagram image, wherein this controller controls the recording interval in accordance with the result of the discrimination. With this apparatus, by superposing the recording dots on the same position on the paper in accordance with the binary image data, gradations and graininess can be improved by a simple structure.

A color image processor inputs the color image data of one color-separated picture element, weights the input color image data, reduces the amount of information of the weighted color image data and outputs the reduced color image data.

摘要:
A method for halftone image recording, wherein dots are formed using two or more concentrations of ink, to express different image densities. Each picture element may comprise a plurality of cells, different predetermined members and patterns of which are actually printed in, to express different gradations. Different such patterns may be used for each ink concentration. Several such patterns, using only thin ink, may, for example, be used to express lower densities, several others, using only thick ink, for high densities, and still others, using dots of thin ink and dots of thick ink, for intermediate densities. For color image recording, different concentrations and different members of concentrations can be used for different colors.
