IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

By addition of a copy forgery inhibited pattern image having a lower density to an image in a saving mode, there is provided an image processing apparatus which can reduce consumption amounts of toner and ink while keeping effectiveness of the copy forgery inhibited pattern image. The present invention is an image processing apparatus having a copy forgery inhibited pattern image addition mode and a saving mode, and includes a unit configured to determine whether the copy forgery inhibited pattern image addition mode is set and a unit configured to determine whether the saving mode is set, wherein a density of the copy forgery inhibited pattern image to be added to the image in the case where the saving mode is set is lower than a density of the copy forgery inhibited pattern image to be added to the image in the case where the saving mode isn't set.

主权项

1. An apparatus causing a printing unit to print a copy forgery inhibited pattern image, comprising:
a determining unit configured to determine whether or not a color material saving mode is set; and a control unit configured to cause the printing unit to print the copy forgery inhibited pattern image having a lower density in a case where the color material saving mode is determined to be set than in a case where the color material saving mode is determined not to be set.
