Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving print data indicative of an image to be printed on a substrate. The print data may indicate an image portion in which an image is present and a void portion in which the image is absent. An amount of background print agent to be applied to a region of the substrate corresponding to the locations of the image portion and the void portion on the substrate when the image is printed may be determined. In examples, the amount of background print agent determined to be applied to a region of the substrate corresponding to the location of the void portion on the substrate when the image is printed is greater than the amount of a background print agent to be applied to the region of the substrate corresponding to the location of the image portion on the substrate when the image is printed.

Abstract: An example system in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a halftone engine and a gray value engine. The halftone engine is to apply halftoning to an image recursively across a plurality of levels of image scales and spatial resolutions, to generate a pattern that is at least quasi-periodic across the plurality of levels. The gray value engine is to substitute gray values recursively for at least a portion of the halftoning.

Abstract: There is a provided a liquid droplet discharging control device which causes a liquid droplet discharging apparatus including a head, in which a plurality of nozzles are arranged in a predetermined direction, to perform printing and which is capable of executing a nearby compensation process in which, on the basis of a dot position on which a predetermined nozzle for black ink forms a dot, a nearby nozzle that forms a dot in the vicinity of the dot forms a dot and executing a composite compensation process. The liquid droplet discharging control device includes a parameter acquiring unit that acquires parameters corresponding to the degree of liquid spreading toward a periphery after adhesion of a liquid droplet to a medium, and a compensation switching unit that switches between execution of the nearby compensation process and execution of the composite compensation process on the basis of the parameters.

Abstract: Provided is a color conversion table creation method for creating a color conversion table for an image forming apparatus which forms an image by performing, on an input color value with total use amount of color material exceeding set amount, a process for reducing the total use amount of color material, the table presenting correspondence between the input color value input to the image forming apparatus and an output color value in a device-independent color space. The method includes: acquiring an input color value of a patch image for creating the table; when the total use amount of color material defined by the acquired input color value is around the set amount, adjusting the input color value to have a smaller difference between the total use amount and the set amount; and creating the color conversion table using the patch image with the adjusted input color value.
