Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a memory; and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor performs: acquiring a plurality of points defining a plurality of line segments constituting an outline of an object, the plurality of line segments including a first line segment and a second line segment; identifying the first line segment having a shorter distance to the second line segment than a threshold by calculating a distance in a predetermined direction between the first line segment and the second line segment based on coordinates of the plurality of points, wherein the threshold is an inverse number of a printing resolution of a printing engine; correcting a position of at least one of points defining the identified first line segment so that the distance between the first line segment after the correction and the second line segment is the threshold, wherein the threshold is the inverse number of the printing resolution of the printing engine; rasterizing the object based on the plurality of corrected points; and transmitting the rasterized object for printing at the printing resolution of the print engine.
