Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for forming an image by superimposing n (n≥2) records on a same region in a recording medium includes: a holding unit configured to hold a threshold matrix characteristic representing a dispersity of a dot pattern of each tone obtained when dithering is performed using a threshold matrix; a setting unit configured to set recording data for n recording scans by dividing image data for the n recording scans based on the threshold matrix characteristic; and a halftoning unit configured to perform dithering using the threshold matrix on the recording data for each of the n records.

Claim (Index 3):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the setting unit sets a search area to recording data for a recording scan to be processed among the n recording scans, and determines whether a tone with a highest dispersity in the search area is present in the threshold matrix characteristic, and when the tone with the highest dispersity is present, the setting unit updates recording data for the recording scan to be processed with the tone with the highest dispersity.
