<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inspect a halo phenomenon of an image output by a printer by using an image inspection apparatus, and to reprint the image after performing optimum correction on an original image according to the degree of occurrence of the halo phenomenon. <P>SOLUTION: An image inspection apparatus 104 compares an inspection image, which is obtained by reading, through the use of a reader 105, a printed material output by an image output apparatus 103, with an original image (a correct image) in a digital front end DFE 102 so as to determine a color difference. When the color difference is moderate, a halftone processing method is changed so as to correct a halo phenomenon. When the color difference is great, a correction control section 113 performs pixel value correction on the original image according to the color difference so as to correct the halo phenomenon. Thereafter, the image output apparatus 103 reprints the original image with the halo phenomenon corrected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
