Abstract:
Thermal transfer image data is used to transfer part of a transfer material layer in a transfer ribbon to an image-receiving layer in an intermediate transfer ribbon to form a plurality of image cells on the intermediate transfer ribbon. A method for providing thermal transfer image data includes converting a multitone input image into a multitone image having fewer different tone values than the input image, based on a predetermined threshold; and dithering respective tone values of the image.

Claim (Index 4):
The method for providing thermal transfer image data of  claim 1 , wherein the providing of a difference in tone values includes:\n dividing the tone values of the input image into a low-tone-value range, an intermediate-tone-value range, and a high-tone-value range; in the low-tone-value range, making the difference in tone values greater as the tone value is fewer; in the high-tone-value range, making the difference in tone values greater as the tone value is higher; and in the intermediate-tone-value range, making the difference in tone values smaller than the differences in tone values set in the low-tone-value range and the high-tone-value range.
