Abstract:
1. An image recording system comprising: a conversion unit configured to convert input color signals constituting an input image into signals constituting a group of recording material overlapped structures that includes a recording material overlapped structure in which at least two or more recording materials are overlapped to form pixels and includes mixed plural structures in which amounts of the overlapped recording materials are equal to each other and order of overlapping is different, wherein the converted signals indicate a ratio of each number of pixels of the recording material overlapped structures, and wherein the ratio is continuously changed according to the continuous change of the input color signals; and a recording unit configured to record the recording materials on a recording medium in accordance with the converted signals; wherein the recording unit includes a setting unit that sets, from the signals converted by the conversion unit, the recording material overlapped structure in each of the pixels on the recording medium, and the setting unit sets the recording material overlapped structure based on a first signal converted by the conversion unit and an error signal from neighboring pixels.
