Claim 1:
2. The controller according to claim 1,
wherein the generating the print data includes generating pieces of non-overlapping range dot data indicating the images within the first and second non-overlapping ranges using the pieces of non-overlapping range data, the non-overlapping range dot data being dot data indicating a size of the dot for each pixel, and generating overlapping range dot data indicating the image within the overlapping range using the overlapping range data, the overlapping range dot data being the dot data,
wherein the generating the pieces of non-overlapping range dot data includes:
selecting the size of the dot from a non-overlapping range dot size set consisting of a plurality of sizes including a zeroth size corresponding to an ink amount of zero and a first size corresponding to an ink amount larger than 0, and
as the increasing the density of at least a portion of the image to be printed in the overlapping range, selecting the size of the dot from an overlapping range dot size set consisting of a plurality of sizes including the zeroth size and an alternative size, the alternative size being an alternative to the first size and being a size corresponding to an ink amount larger than an ink amount corresponding to the first size.
