    摘要: In the case of performing halftone processing using a threshold value matrix, the memory capacity for storing the threshold value matrix is reduced without reducing the image quality of an output image. An image processing apparatus that generates a halftone image by performing halftone processing using a threshold value matrix for each piece of image data of a plurality of color planes corresponding to color materials used for printing processing, and the number of bits of a threshold value in a first threshold value matrix for a color plane whose visibility is relatively low of the plurality of color planes is smaller than the number of bits of a threshold value in a second threshold value matrix for a color plane whose visibility is relatively high of the plurality of color planes.

    摘要: A method and system create an image-based pattern color space for use in conjunction with rendering a print job. The pattern color space is defined, in a page description language, by a variable portion, a fixed portion, and a bounding shape. A procedure is defined for painting the variable and fixed portions within the bounding shape. The variable portion is based upon variable data associated with the print job and the fixed portion is an image associated with the print job such that a gloss mark is created in rendering the print job by painting a gloss mark font text symbol with the image of the print job, and a correlation mark is created in rendering the print job by painting a correlation mark font text symbol with the image of the print job.

    摘要: A halftone comprises a first halftone screen and a second halftone screen. The first halftone screen comprises a first plurality of amplitude modulated dots arranged according to a first plurality of rows, the first plurality of rows being orientated according to a first direction and comprising a first dot spacing. The second halftone screen comprises a second plurality of amplitude modulated dots arranged according to a second plurality of rows, the second plurality of row being orientated in a second direction and comprising a second dot spacing. The first direction and the second direction define an angle of 45 degrees or less and a ratio of the second dot spacing to the first dot spacing is less than one.

    摘要: The dither mask generation method includes: a process of setting a nozzle pattern indicating correspondence relation between individual pixels of the dither mask and the nozzles in charge of recording of respective pixel positions; a process of setting dot priority pixels to be candidates of a pixel to set a threshold among the pixels of the dither mask, based on the nozzle pattern; a process of setting the threshold to the pixel belonging to the dot priority pixels; and a process of changing the dot priority pixels before the threshold is set to all the dot priority pixels tentatively set by the dot priority pixel setting process regarding at least some thresholds.

    摘要: Provided are a control apparatus, an image processing method and a non-transitory recording medium. The control apparatus includes a raster-image processor and a hardware processor that judges whether each of multi-valued pixels forming a source image is colored in one of specific colors, controls the amount of color materials to be used in printing the source image together with a white base, by reducing pixel values of the multi-valued pixels forming the source image and the white base, and converts the multi-valued pixels into two-valued pixels corresponding to colors of the color materials of the source image and two-valued white pixels. The hardware processor uses a matrix of two-valued white pixels corresponding to each of the multi-valued pixels judged as being colored in one of the specific colors, to rearrange at least one of colored two-valued white pixels at colored or uncolored pixel positions in the matrix.
