摘要:
A disclosed image processing apparatus performs an image processing operation to execute double-side printing on both sides of an image forming medium. The image processing apparatus forms a dot font including a dot pattern of a character in a character image that has undergone a halftone process using a predetermined coefficient for mitigating show-through when the double-side printing is performed; forms a correction dot for making a correction to reduce step-like irregularities along an outline portion of the character in the character image, which correction dot is formed based on an arrangement position, a color, and a dot size of the correction dot for reproducing a gradation that has undergone the halftone process using said predetermined coefficient; and combines the dot font and the correction dot.

A disclosed image forming apparatus is capable of forming an image using a black recording liquid and at least one color recording liquid and generating image data on an image to be output. When an input image is black, the image data is generated for forming the image with the black recording liquid and using the color recording liquid for the image.

摘要:
Disclosed is an image forming method including forming an image including plural dots by using liquid drops of recording liquid, the image including a background portion and a character portion, detecting brightness characteristics of the character portion and background portion, and switching dot addition on or off, wherein a dot with a color identical to a color of the character portion is added to a contour portion of the character portion when the dot addition is switched on.
摘要:
A gradation reproducing method includes the step of converting multi-level image data into plural-level image data having an amount of information smaller than an amount of information of the multi-level image data, by using a part having a characteristic of a dot conversion curve, so that a gradation of the multi-level image data is reproduced.
摘要:
An image processing method is disclosed. A printer driver is a program for performing the method. The printer driver forms print image data that are printed by an inkjet recording apparatus capable of forming multi-level dots by ejecting droplets of recording liquid. The printer driver transforms image data of a manuscript into manuscript image data corresponding to the multi-level dots capable of being output from the inkjet recording apparatus by applying an image process such as a CMM process, a BG/UCR/γ correction process, and a gradation process to the image data of the manuscript; further, forms the print image data corresponding to the multi-level dots capable of being output from the inkjet recording apparatus by combining the manuscript image data with data corresponding to the multi-level dots of an image pattern indicating that the manuscript is prohibited from being duplicated by a manuscript and tint block pattern combining section.
摘要:
A method of forming an image by an image forming apparatus provided with a print head having plural nozzles, wherein the print head has an overlapping area whose print area overlaps a print area of a physically adjacent print head, or has an overlapping area whose print area overlaps an adjacent scan line on a print sheet surface, includes an image forming step of forming an image by the print head, wherein the image forming step includes a control step of controlling in a variable manner an amount of ink sprayed from a proximity nozzle situated in close proximity of the overlapping area, the proximity nozzle being one of the nozzles situated in a non-overlapping area outside the overlapping area.
摘要:
An image forming method includes discharging a droplet of a recording fluid via nozzles of a recording head onto a print medium; performing a main scan in which the print medium is scanned in a main scan direction; performing a sub-scan in which the print medium is scanned in a sub-scan direction; determining an overlap region in an image region that is formed by a single main scan; and performing an overlap control by forming an image in the overlap region through a plurality of main scans while the print medium is moved in the sub-scan direction by a feed amount L, wherein L=(n−x)d−md, where n is a number of the nozzles in the recording head; x is a number of the nozzles in the overlap region; d is a nozzle pitch; and m is a feed correcting coefficient (0≦m≦1).
