Abstract:
There is provided an image processing apparatus including a controller configured to: acquire scan data indicating a scan image including first and second specific color areas each indicating a part thereof printed by using a first nozzle and a third specific color area indicating a part thereof printed by using a second nozzle; and generate a plurality of parameters, by using the scan data, each of the plurality of parameters indicating jetting characteristic of a coloring material from one of the first and second nozzles corresponding thereto. The controller evaluates the difference between a color of the first specific color area and a color of the second specific color area, and the controller generates a parameter included in the plurality of parameters and corresponding to the second nozzle, by using a result of the evaluation of the difference and a value of a third pixel within the third specific color area.

Claim (Index 9):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of nozzles further include a fourth nozzle;\n wherein the scan image further includes:\n a fifth specific color area, the fifth specific color area indicating a fifth part included in the specific color image and being printed by using the fourth nozzle, the fifth specific color area being adjacent to an area, included in the specific color image and indicating a part different from the background color area, in the second direction, and the fifth specific color area being not adjacent to the background color area in the second direction; and \n a sixth specific color area, the sixth specific color area indicating a sixth part included in the specific color image and being printed by using the plurality of fourth nozzles, the sixth specific color area being adjacent to the area, included in the specific color area and indicating the part different from the background color area, in the second direction, and the sixth specific color area being not adjacent to the background color area in the second direction, and \n wherein the controller is configured to perform:\n evaluating difference between a color of the fifth specific color area and a color of the sixth specific color area based on a value of a fifth pixel within the fifth specific color area and a value of a sixth pixel within the sixth specific color area, and \n evaluating the difference between the color of the first specific color area and the color of the second specific color area, by using a result of the evaluation of the difference between the color of the fifth specific color area and the color of the sixth specific color area.
