Abstract:
Recording data for recording an achromatic color image having a high lightness is generated as follows. A first color material and a second color material which has a hue complementary to that of the first color material are used to record the image. Recording data is generated such that a recording amount of the first color material and a recording amount of the second color material are larger than a recording amount of another color material, and such that a pixel where it is determined that the first color material is to be recorded and a pixel where it is determined that the second color material is to be recorded are at positions different from each other.

Claim (Index 1):
An image processing apparatus for, to record an image on a recording medium using a plurality of color materials including a first color material and a second color material which has a hue complementary to that of the first color material, processing image data corresponding to the image, the image processing apparatus comprising:\n a conversion unit configured to convert the image data into pieces of color material data corresponding to the plurality of color materials; and a generation unit configured to, based on the converted pieces of color material data, generate recording data to be used to record the plurality of color materials, wherein the conversion unit converts predetermined image data indicating a color that is an achromatic color and has a gradation less than or equal to an intermediate gradation in a gradation range for color reproduction, into the pieces of color material data such that a recording amount of the first color material and a recording amount of the second color material are larger than a recording amount of a color material different from the first and second color materials among the plurality of color materials, and wherein the generation unit generates the recording data such that a pixel where it is determined according to the recording data that the first color material is to be recorded and a pixel where it is determined according to the recording data that the second color material is to be recorded are at positions different from each other.
