IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

An image processing apparatus prints an image using a plurality of color materials and a colorless material. A memory stores information indicating a plurality of dot placements which include different dot placements of the colorless material, and correspond to an amount of the colorless material. Color material amount data indicating amounts of the plurality of color materials and the amount of the colorless material is input for each pixel. A dot placement of the colorless material is determined from the plurality of dot placements based on the amount of the colorless material indicated by the input color material amount data, so that coloring of specular reflection light on each pixel becomes closer to an achromatic color.
