PRINTING APPARATUS AND PRINTING METHOD

摘要

A printing apparatus includes a first processing section configured to convert input values that are specified for each pixel in image data into amounts of ink for inks of each color, and a second processing section configured to generate half tone data from the image data that is converted. The second processing section is further configured to convert an amount of ink for a first ink, which is in a range of a first amount of ink where it is easy for density unevenness to be generated, into an amount of ink for the first ink and an amount of ink for a second ink that is the same color as the first ink and has a high brightness compared to the first ink. An increase in the amount of the first ink that is set in the range of the first amount of ink is large.

1. A printing apparatus configured to discharge ink from a print head, the printing apparatus comprising:
a first processing section configured to convert input values that are specified for each pixel in image data into amounts of ink for inks of each color; and a second processing section configured to generate half tone data that specifies the presence or absence of half tone dots based on the image data that is converted, the second processing section being further configured to convert an amount of ink for a first ink, which is in a range of a first amount of ink where it is easy for density unevenness to be generated, into an amount of ink for the first ink and an amount of ink for a second ink that is the same color as the first ink and has a high brightness compared to the first ink, an increase in the amount of the first ink that is set in the range of the first amount of ink being large compared to an increase in the amount of the first ink in a range of a second amount of ink that is different to the range of the first amount of ink.
