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 2):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the control unit determines that (i) the predetermined pixel belongs to a first region in a case where an image of the predetermined pixel is determined as not having a predetermined attribute, (ii) the predetermined pixel belongs to a second region in a case where the image of the predetermined pixel is determined as having the predetermined attribute and where the predetermined pixel is determined as being in the boundary, and (iii) the predetermined pixel belongs to a third region in a case where the image of the predetermined pixel is determined as having the predetermined attribute and where the predetermined pixel is determined as not being in the boundary; and wherein the control unit controls the discharging of the plurality of inks such that ink to be discharged to the predetermined pixel depends on which of the first, second and third regions that the predetermined pixel belongs to.
