- the inkjet printer 10 ejects ink droplets from the nozzles 13 of the inkjet head 12 while reciprocating the carriage 11 in the scanning direction, thereby forming a plurality of dots on the recording medium.
- the RIP 40 generates dot format print data for printing with the inkjet printer 10 based on image data such as a dot map format or JPEG format created by the application 30.
- This print data forms dots on a recording medium at a predetermined resolution pitch, and is configured for each pixel by whether or not ink droplets are ejected, the number of ink droplet ejections, the amount of ink droplets, and the like.
- the RIP 40 sets the dot size of each pixel to be larger than the resolution pitch in order to reduce streak unevenness occurring in the printed image, and the ink is formed so that dots are formed on the recording medium with the set dot size.
- the number of droplet discharges and the appropriate discharge amount of ink liquid are calculated, and print data is created based on the calculation results. Note that increasing the number of ink droplet ejection increases the size of dots formed on the recording medium, and increasing the amount of ink droplet ejection increases the size of dots formed on the recording medium.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram for calculating a condition in which streak unevenness does not appear.
- the dot centered at point A is dot A
- the dot centered at point B is dot B
- the dot centered at point C is dot C.

You can see that.

- ⁇ indicates an ink density curve in which the ink density is adjusted low.
- the overlapping area ratio 100% indicates the ink density at the time of one-layer solid printing
- the overlapping area ratio 200% indicates the ink density at the time of two-layer solid printing. For this reason, when there is no dot overlap, the overlap area ratio is equal to the so-called print ratio.
- the ink density curve ⁇ when the ink density is not adjusted, the overlapping area ratio is 100% and the ink density is saturated. Therefore, when dots are overlapped, the printing density becomes too high. However, as described above, when the dot size is increased, the dot overlap occurs remarkably. Therefore, in the ink density curve ⁇ , the ink density becomes too high due to the dot overlap. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in the ink density curve ⁇ , the ink density is set to be saturated when the overlapping area ratio is 180%. By doing so, the dot overlap area ratio becomes 180% and the saturation density is finally obtained, so that halftones can be reproduced in a wider area of the print ratio. In order to achieve both the halftone and the ink density, it is preferable to set so that the necessary ink density can be obtained when the overlapping area ratio is 130 to 200%.
