Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a print head which discharges inks including an ink of a first color and an ink of a second color, an obtaining unit which obtains first color data defining discharging/non-discharging of the ink of the first color to a pixel on a printing medium and second color data defining discharging/non-discharging of the ink of the second color to a pixel on the printing medium, a first determination unit which determines an attribute of an image of a predetermined pixel on the printing medium, a second determination unit which determines whether the predetermined pixel is in a boundary between a region defined to discharge the ink of the first color and a region defined to discharge the ink of the second color or not, and a control unit which controls discharging of the inks based on results of the determinations.

Claim (Index 12):
A printing method for printing by using a print head configured to discharge a plurality of inks including at least an ink of a first color and an ink of a second color which is different from the first color, the method comprising\n obtaining first color data defining discharging or non-discharging of the ink of the first color to pixels on a printing medium and second color data defining discharging and non-discharging of the ink of the second color to a pixel on the printing medium; determining an attribute of an image of a predetermined pixel on the printing medium; determining whether the predetermined pixel is in a boundary between a region defined by the first color data to discharge the ink of the first color and a region defined by the second color data to discharge the ink of the second color or not; and controlling discharging of the plurality of inks from the print head to the predetermined pixel based on results of the determinations performed by the first and second determination units.
