Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus for processing input image data that corresponds to a pixel area in order to execute printing in the pixel area of a printing medium by moving a print unit a plurality of times relative to the printing medium comprising: a generation unit configured to generate a plurality of density data that corresponds to the plurality of relative movements respectively, representing a density value for the same color based on the input image data, wherein the plurality of density data includes a first density data which is the density data that corresponds to at least one relative movement of the plurality of relative movements and a second density data that corresponds to at least one other relative movement of the plurality of relative movements, and wherein the generation unit determines a ratio of a density value of the first density data to a density value of the second density data based on a gradation value of an input image data; and a quantization unit configured to perform quantization processing of each of the plurality of density data for the same color.
