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 1):
A method for providing thermal transfer image data, the thermal transfer image data being used to transfer part of a transfer material layer in a transfer ribbon to an image-receiving layer to form a plurality of image cells, comprising:\n 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 each of the tone values of the image, wherein the method further comprises before performing the dithering: dividing the input image into a plurality of interleaved regions; and providing a difference in tone values between adjacent ones of the plurality of regions in the image.
