Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus which processes image data including: first data corresponding to an output color of an output device; and a plurality of second data of respective spot colors, the image processing apparatus comprising: a conversion section which (i) calculates a device color value corresponding to a spot color or a spot color combination among the spot colors, referring to a first table in which each of the spot colors is correlated with the device color value corresponding to the output color of the output device, so as to generate a second table in which spot color identification information on the spot color or the spot color combination is correlated with the calculated device color value, and (ii) generates, based on the plurality of second data, third data in which each pixel is represented by the spot color identification information; and a storage section which stores the first data, the second table and the third data.
