Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus for printing an image on a print medium by using a printing unit that ejects a first ink based on first quantized data and ejects a second ink based on second quantized data, the image processing apparatus comprising: a first quantization unit configured to quantize multi-valued data corresponding to the first ink to generate the first quantized data, the multi-valued data indicating intermediate density; and a second quantization unit configured to quantize multi-valued data corresponding to the second ink to generate the second quantized data, the multi-valued data indicating intermediate density, wherein: a satellite of the first ink is more conspicuous than a satellite of the second ink on the print medium, and a first dot pattern printed on the print medium based on the first quantized data has higher dispersibility than a second dot pattern printed on the print medium based on the second quantized data.
