Abstract:
The disclosure includes an edge extracting unit configured to, based on image data corresponding to a print image, extract edge pixels forming an outline of a partial image, a dot formation specification determining unit configured to, based on the image data, determine dot formation specifications, and a print data generator configured to, based on the dot formation specifications, generate print data for causing execution of printing by a printing apparatus for printing the print image by discharging first ink on a printing medium and second ink that promotes spreading of the first ink on the printing medium to form the plurality of dots.

Claim (Index 8):
An image processing method, comprising:\n extracting, based on image data corresponding to a print image, edge pixels forming an outline of a partial image contained in the print image; determining, based on the image data, dot formation specifications including positions at which a plurality of dots are to be formed and sizes of the plurality of dots; and generating, based on the dot formation specifications, print data for causing execution of printing by a printing apparatus for printing the print image by discharging first ink on a printing medium and second ink that promotes spreading of the first ink on the printing medium to form the plurality of dots, wherein the determining determines the dot formation specifications such that an application density of the second ink discharged on a first pixel region, including pixel positions adjacent to an outer side of the edge pixels and pixel positions overlapping the edge pixels extracted by the extracting, is less than an application density of the second ink discharged on a second pixel region contacting the first pixel region.
