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 18):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 17 , wherein the halftoning unit compares the recording data corresponding to the pixel of interest with the threshold when the constraint information corresponding to the pixel of interest is smaller than the threshold corresponding to the pixel of interest, and the halftoning unit turns on the dot corresponding to the pixel of interest when the recording data corresponding to the pixel of interest is greater than the threshold corresponding to the pixel of interest.
