IMAGE PROCESSOR, PROCESSING METHOD BY THE SAME, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology enabling application of reduction processing to a recording agent in accordance with a size of an object to be processed.

SOLUTION: An image processor generates drawing data that can be interpreted by the image processor on the basis of data including one or more objects. In this case, the image processor comprises: calculation means for calculating a proportion of an area of each object to the whole data when a recording agent reduction mode to reduce a provided amount of the recording agent to be used in printing by the image-forming device is set and the reduction in the provided amount of the recording agent on the basis of a size of each object is instructed; adjustment means for changing an amount of reduction in the provided amount of the recording agent for each object by adjusting a color value of each object in accordance with the calculated proportion of the area of each object; and drawing means for generating drawing data on the basis of data including the adjusted objects.
