摘要:
There is provided a color conversion table having a plurality of pieces of reference color image data making correspondence between color data for a first image device and color data for a second image device and including a specified total information amount. The color conversion table is used to distribute the reference color image data over a prescribed area in a specified color space. Color data information for each reference color image data is increased more than a specified amount within a limit of the specified total information amount. Further, a color conversion table is created using an original table which highly accurately defines colors in part of the table. If such color conversion tables are referenced for color conversion, it is possible to suppress the storage capacity, provide color matching, and perform high accuracy color conversion.

A one-dimensional LUT has been incapable of color matching. A three-dimensional LUT has been incapable of ensuring a color conversion accuracy enough to reproduce fine changes in color tone on a monochrome image. It has been impossible to suppress a storage capacity for a color conversion table by ensuring the accuracy.There is provided a color conversion table which has a plurality of pieces of reference color image data making correspondence between color data for a first image device and color data for a second image device and comprises a specified total information amount.

摘要:
The method of the present invention generates print data to be supplied to a printing module, which ejects ink to form dots on a printing medium. This method includes a dot data generation step of generating dot data, which represent a dot formation in respective pixels, according to pixel values of given video data with regard to the respective pixels. The dot data generation step includes the step of generating the dot data, such that a dot formation with respect to at least part of the pixel values in a pixel belonging to an end area located on an end of the printing medium is different from the dot formation in a pixel belonging to a middle area located in a middle of the printing medium, so as to prevent adhesion of ink to the printing module.

When dot data indicating whether or not a dot is formed on the basis of the gradation value for each pixel, dots belonging to a plurality of pixel groups having different printing conditions are printed in a common region in an overlapping manner, and the distribution of dots in the common region has a noise characteristic possessing a peak in the spatial frequency region on the high-frequency side. In a case where first and second pixels belonging to two pixel groups are proximal pixels in the common region in a predetermined gradation range in which probabilities k1 and k2 at which a dot is formed in the first and second pixels are such that k1

A printing apparatus is provided with a halftone unit performing a halftone process in which a possibility of dot formation is determined for each pixel based on a dot occurrence rate of the pixel constituting image data, and a printing unit forming dots on a recording medium based on the possibility of dot formation. The halftone unit predicts the occurrence of dot overlap in which a plurality of dots overlaps on the printing medium and performs the halftone process based on an evaluation index according to the dot overlap.

There is provided a printing apparatus having a nozzle row in a sub scanning direction; a halftone processing unit comparing each threshold value of a dither mask with image data; and a printing unit controlling ejection of ink from each nozzle by using a result of the halftone process. Here, a constant correspondence relationship is set between each position in a minimal repetition unit of a nozzle pattern and each threshold value of the dither mask applied to the each position. The dither mask includes at least one side of nozzles on both ends of the nozzle row or frontmost-end nozzles on both ends of the nozzle row in a print area having a predetermined range of an ink duty ratio. In addition, the plurality of threshold values are set such that a use ratio of front-end nozzles is lower than a use ratio of middle nozzles.

A printing apparatus performs printing on a printing medium by moving a print head relative to the printing medium in a main scanning direction, which is a width direction of the printing medium, and a sub-scanning direction that intersects the main scanning direction. The printing apparatus includes a print head that includes a plurality of nozzles configured to eject ink; an acquisition unit that acquires image data; and a dot forming unit that controls the print head so as to eject the ink to form dots corresponding to the image data on the printing medium. When suppression dots, which are dots formed to suppress bleeding, are formed on the printing medium, the dot forming unit controls the print head so that ink corresponding to the suppression dots is ejected from preceding nozzles arranged to eject ink to the printing medium earlier than other nozzles of the plurality of nozzles.
摘要:
In an image output control system, an image processing device processes image data in accordance with a preset series of image processing and supplies processed image data to an image output device, which outputs the processed image. The image processing device determines the number of dots to be created in each pixel group, which has a preset number of multiple pixels included in an image, and outputs the number of dots as dot number data to the output device. In response to the dot number data, the output device selects one among multiple options for a priority order of individual pixels included in each pixel group, determines the positions of dot-on pixels in the pixel group, and creates dots at the determined positions of the dot-on pixels to output an image. In the image output control system, the image processing device supplies the dot number data to the output device.
