Bidirectional multi-pass inkjet printer suppressing density unevenness based on image information and scan line position of each dot

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a color converting unit 330 for subjecting the input image data to a color conversion in accordance with ink color, and generating a print image 400; a print data generator 370-x for generating print data of each scan corresponding to multiple scans of the print image generated by the color converting unit 330; print controller 380-x for controlling at least one of the color converting unit 330 or print data generator 370-x based upon the input image data 320 or a position on a scanning line of each dot to be printed in the print image 400 generated by the color converting unit 330; and a printer engine 180 for printing on the print medium based upon the print data generated by the print data generator 370-x.
