Chromatic image recording apparatus provided with a color corrective function

摘要

An image processing device in an image forming apparatus processes signals related to color data obtained from an original to generate appropriate printer control signals. The device determines whether less than a maximum number of available printer control signals can provide accurate characterization of the original color data. If less than a maximum number of available printer control signals cannot provide accurate characterization of the original color data, the maximum number of available printer control signals are generated.
