    摘要: In a color mode, the image quality improving liquid is set to the same rate of 20% for all input signal values. Meanwhile, in a monochrome mode, the image quality improving liquid is set to a rate of 30% in the highlight region, and the ink rate gradually decreases starting from the intermediate tones and proceeding towards the high-density region. Thus, the optimal printing method and usage rate for image quality improving liquid can be adjusted in accordance with the image quality characteristics of the color mode and the monochrome mode. As a result, it is possible to reduce color change in specular light while maintaining at least a certain level of image clarity in both modes, and thus favorably print both color images and monochrome images.

    摘要翻译: 在彩色模式中,对于所有输入信号值,图像质量改进液体被设置为相同的20%的速率。 同时,在单色模式中,图像质量改善液体在高亮区域中被设置为30%的速率,并且墨水速率从中间色调开始逐渐降低并且朝着高密度区域前进。 因此,可以根据彩色模式和单色模式的图像质量特性来调整图像质量改进液体的最佳打印方法和使用率。 结果,可以在两种模式下保持至少一定程度的图像清晰度的同时降低镜面反射光的颜色变化,从而有利地打印彩色图像和单色图像。

    摘要: In a color mode, among clear ink data CL1 and CL2, only the data CL2 is set to a uniform use amount of 20%, while the use amount for the data CL1 is set to zero. Meanwhile, in a monochrome photo mode, the data CL1 indicates a usage of 10% to 40% near a white point, but starting at the intermediate gradations the data CL1 use amount decreases while the data CL2 use amount increases, with a data CL2 use amount of 20% near a black point. In so doing, it is possible to sufficiently suppress bronzing in the color mode where coloring ink data exists, without imparting a particularly strong unnatural look except for specific colors. Meanwhile, in the monochrome photo mode where coloring ink data does not exist, high-level suppression of bronzing is possible, at the cost of a slight reduction in the glossiness of the printed material.

    摘要翻译: 在彩色模式中,在清晰墨水数据CL1和CL2中,只有数据CL2被设置为20%的均匀使用量,而数据CL1的使用量被设置为零。 同时,在单色照片模式下,数据CL1表示在白点附近使用10%至40%,但是从中间灰度开始,数据CL2使用量随着数据CL2使用量的增加而减少,数据CL2使用量增加 20点附近的黑点。 在这样做时,可以充分抑制着色油墨数据存在的色彩模式中的烫金,除了特定的颜色之外,不会产生特别强烈的不自然的外观。 同时,在不存在着色油墨数据的单色照片模式中,以打印材料的光泽度的轻微降低为代价,可以高水平地抑制烫金。

    摘要: Provided is an ink jet printing apparatus that, without causing an increase in apparatus size, can print an image having high evenness in both of image clarity and glossiness regardless a gradation or gamut of the image. For this purpose, on the basis of input image data, pieces of multivalued color data respectively corresponding to colored inks, and first multivalued data and second multivalued data that correspond to image enhancing liquid are generated. On a print medium, the colored inks and the image enhancing liquid according to the first multivalued data are printed at nearly the same timing, and after the printing of them has been completed, the image enhancing liquid according to the second multivalued data is printed. In doing so, gloss properties appearing on the print medium can be made to fall within certain ranges, respectively, independently of input image data.

    摘要: Provided is an inkjet printing apparatus that, when performing multi-pass printing using pigmented ink and image enhancing liquid for adjusting the glossiness, is capable of outputting a high-quality image in which gloss unevenness due to displacement of the printing position cannot be noticed. In order to accomplish this, dot arrangement data is generated based on input image data so that the dot arrangement of image enhancing liquid includes a greater low-frequency component in the spatial frequency than the dot arrangement of colored ink on a print medium. As a result, it is possible to suppress gloss unevenness even when printing position displacement occurs, while at the same time suitably suppressing a feeling of graininess in colored ink.

    摘要: One objective of the present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus and an image processing method, whereby a difference of gloss at irregular, very small portions can be appropriately reproduced. The image processing apparatus determines, based on image data for an image to be printed on a print medium, amounts of a color printing material for printing the image on the print medium and an image quality control material for adjusting glossiness of the image, and obtains information on an unevenness level of a surface of the image based on the image data. In the above determining, the amount of the image quality control material to be applied to the print medium is determined based on the unevenness level indicated by the obtained information.
