IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, PRINTING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

Disclosed are an image processing device, a printing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program capable of making processing common among printing modes to simplify an entire image processing flow in image processing based on a plurality of printing modes with different definition. An image processing unit 14 includes an image size adjustment unit 20 which adjusts the size of an input image, and a halftone processing unit 24 which performs halftone processing on the input image size-adjusted by the image size adjustment unit 20 to generate a halftone image. The image size adjustment unit 20 adjusts the input image to the same size in two or more printing modes among a plurality of printing modes with different definition, and the input image of the same size is subjected to halftone processing in the halftone processing unit 24.

主权项

1. An image processing device which generates a halftone image from an input image of a plurality of printing modes with different definition, the image processing device comprising:
an image size adjustment unit which adjusts the size of the input image; and a halftone processing unit which performs halftone processing on the input image size-adjusted by the image size adjustment unit to generate a halftone image, wherein the image size adjustment unit adjusts the input image to the same size in two or more printing modes among the plurality of printing modes, and the input image of the same size is subjected to the halftone processing, and the halftone processing unit limits the arrangement of dots constituting the halftone image to dot arrangeable places of a selected printing mode among the plurality of printing modes.
