Image reproducing system

摘要

Image characteristics of a finally generated printed image that is reproduced from YMCK halftone dot percentage data from an image editor by an image output unit B are simulated highly accurately taking into account periodic noise and random noise, and the simulated image is outputted from an image output unit A. Specifically, the YMCK halftone dot percentage data from the image editor are converted into color image data corresponding to image characteristics of the image output unit B by an LUT combiner/converter, and periodic noise and random noise that can be produced by the image output unit B are applied to the color image data. The noise-applied color image data are then outputted from the image output unit A.
