Abstract:
A medium on which a printing control program for inputting image data obtained by expressing an image by pixels in a dot matrix state and allowing a computer to execute an interpolating process and a printing control process so that the image data is printed by a printing apparatus is recorded,wherein printing quality at the time of allowing the printing apparatus to print the image data is obtained, an interpolating process corresponding to the obtained printing quality is determined, and the computer is allowed to execute the printing control process by the determined interpolating process, and wherein in the printing control process, for executing a gradation converting process for reducing image data of multilevel gradations to that of low gradation which can be expressed by the printing apparatus, combinations of the interpolating processes and the gradation converting processes are preliminarily set in accordance with the printing quality in the gradation converting process and the gradation converting process and the interpolating process are executed in the combination corresponding to the required printing quality.
