Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus that performs image processing for generating image data to be used for printing by means of printing means, said apparatus comprising; retaining means for retaining density correction data for each of a plurality of printing conditions between which density appears differently in the printing by means of the printing means, the printing conditions being conditions according to which the printing means performs printing and being previously determined; judging means for judging as to which printing condition the printing means should perform printing according to when performing image processing, wherein said judging is based on image data to be printed; and density correction means for performing density correction on the image data using the density correction data corresponding to the printing condition judged by said judging means, among the density correction data retained by said retaining means, wherein the printing means can form dots having different sizes, the printing conditions include printing conditions which differ from each other in dot sizes which are formed in printing performed by the printing means, and the printing means forms the dot of size corresponding to the printing condition, in accordance with the image data.
