Abstract

A recording system comprising a recording apparatus, a recording method and a program to control the recording apparatus for recording a color image on a recording medium by utilizing a recording head on which a plurality of recording elements are arranged, is provided. The recording system further comprising, a plurality of compensation means having respective own compensation methods to compensate a position to be recorded by a recording element which does not execute a recording operation among said plurality of recording elements; a selection means to select an appropriate compensation means. Such recording system can dissolve nonuniformity in the recorded image such as white streaks and the like generated by non-eject dots and can make the nonuniformity be unrecognized by human eyes. In addition the recording system by the invention can suppress raising costs of the recording head and can raise recording rates much faster.
