Color image printing system capable of correcting density deviation on image and system for detecting color deviation on image

摘要

An image recording system for deriving a recorded image from an image signal by producing a positional-deviation amount indicative signal representative of a positional deviation in a sub-scanning direction of a scanning line forming a recorded image. The system corrects the positional deviation of the scanning line on the basis of the positional-deviation amount indicative signal. The system also corrects a density deviation of a recorded image due to the correction of the positional deviation on the basis of a pixel pattern of the image signal. A method is also provided for detecting a relative positional deviation between images of different colors in a color image recording system.
