Abstract:
In an image processing apparatus, a controller sequentially selects a plurality color determination pixels within a determination area, determine whether the color determination pixel has a chromatic color, whether a first pixel adjacent to the color determination pixel is black, and determine whether a second pixel apart from the color determination pixel by one pixel. The controller determines that a first trapping process is to be executed when the color determination pixel has a chromatic color and the first pixel is black, and a second trapping process when the color determination pixel has a chromatic color, the second pixel is black, and the intermediate pixels located between the color determination pixel and the second pixel are black. Thereafter, the controller executes a first trapping process and a second trapping process, but restricts the second trapping process to the pixel on which the first trapping process is to be executed.

Claim (Index 5):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the determination area includes one or more central pixels located at a central part of the determination area and a plurality of surrounding pixels arranged around and adjacent to the one or more central pixels, wherein the color determination pixel is selected from the plurality of surrounding pixels, and wherein the determining black pixels includes, at every selection of the color determination pixel:\n determining whether a first pixel which is adjacent to the color determination pixel in a direction from a position of the color determination pixel to a position of the central part is the black pixel; and \n determining whether a second pixel sandwiching, in association with the color determination pixel, the first pixel is the black pixel.
