    Abstract: A image forming apparatus includes a color conversion unit, a toner-level-specifying unit and a color-conversion-properties-setting unit. The color conversion unit executes a color conversion process for converting input image data to image data for each color of a plurality of color toners. The toner-level-specifying unit specifies the levels of the plurality of color toners. The color-conversion-properties-setting unit causes adjusted input/output properties to be set in the color conversion unit as input/output properties for the color conversion process when the input image data has a saturation that is less than a predetermined value, the adjusted input/output properties being such that the amount used of the color toner having the lowest level is less than in predetermined standard input/output properties.

    Abstract translation: 图像形成装置包括颜色转换单元,调色剂水平指定单元和颜色转换特性设置单元。 颜色转换单元执行用于将输入图像数据转换成多个彩色调色剂的每种颜色的图像数据的颜色转换处理。 调色剂水平指定单元指定多个彩色调色剂的水平。 当输入图像数据具有小于预定值的饱和度时,颜色转换特性设置单元将调整的输入/输出属性设置为颜色转换单元中的输入/输出属性,用于颜色转换处理的输入/输出属性, 调整的输入/输出特性使得具有最低水平的彩色调色剂的使用量小于预定的标准输入/输出特性。
