Abstract:
An image processing method is for generating print data to cause a printing apparatus that prints a print image based on image data to execute printing, by repeating a pass operation in which a nozzle set forms dots on a printing medium while moving in a main scanning direction, and a feed operation in which the nozzle set and the printing medium are moved in a sub-scanning direction. The image processing method includes: performing a first and second halftone processes for a same region of the image data to respectively generate a first halftone data to determine a formation state of first dots and a second halftone data to determine a formation state of second dots, the first and second dots being formed by the nozzle set that ejects a same color of ink; and allocating the first halftone data and the second halftone data to pass operations.

Claim (Index 4):
The image processing method according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the performing of the first halftone process and the second halftone process includes performing the first halftone process using a first dither matrix and performing the second halftone process using a second dither matrix that is different from the first dither matrix.
