<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine dot formed states of the respective printing pixels so as to improve printing quality. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A color conversion process of converting a to-be-printed image represented by an RGB colorimetric system to an intermediate image that is data represented by a CMYK colorimetric system, which can be printed by the printing apparatus is performed. Whether or not each pixel to be generated after the color conversion process constituting each intermediate image by each color component of the CMYK colorimetric system is an edge area pixel is determined, and dots are allocated so that the dots having a predetermined size are formed according to distance from the edge at the positions on the printing medium corresponding to the edge area pixels for every color component. Accordingly, the blurring of ink can be suppressed even in the edge formed by mixing a plurality of colors of ink. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
