An image processor includes a first dither data memory storing a first dither matrix, a second dither data memory storing a second dither matrix, a selecting unit selecting one of the first dither matrix and the second dither matrix, and a converting unit converting multi-value image data to binary data by comparing density of the multi-value image data to the threshold value set in corresponding element of the one of the first dither matrix and the second dither matrix selected by the selecting unit. The second dither matrix is configured of a plurality of sub-dither matrices. Each sub-dither matrix has a plurality of elements each assigned with a threshold value in a range from a maximum threshold value to a minimum threshold value. A set of threshold values from the minimum threshold value to a predetermined intermediate threshold value is assigned to elements in corresponding locations of each of the plurality of sub-dither matrices.
