Image forming apparatus that ensures highly accurate color conversion to input image with gradation, and recording medium therefor

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an image forming program to control an image forming apparatus including a print device that executes printing on a recording medium, the image forming program causing the image forming apparatus to function as:

• a table generating unit that generates a second color conversion table based on a first color conversion table, the first color conversion table defining a correspondence relationship between color values of a colorimetric system of an input image and color values of a colorimetric system of an output image for printing by the print device, with respect to a specific count of colors;
• and
• a color conversion unit that converts the input image into the output image using the second color conversion table generated by the table generating unit;
• wherein
• the table generating unit, in a Voronoi diagram in a specific hue plane that includes generatrices corresponding to definition colors defined in the first color conversion table, obtains empty circles as circles centered at Voronoi seeds of ends of Voronoi sides that intersect with a straight line passing through a largest saturation color and a smallest-saturation and specific-lightness color and passes through generatrices, the circle being without the generatrix inside the circle, and
• after the table generating unit, among the obtained empty circles, sets one of the generatrices shared by the two adjacent empty circles whose radius ratio is outside a specific range as a target point, and causes the radius ratio of the two empty circles to be within the specific range by changing at least one radius of the two empty circles while the generatrix other than the target point is fixed, the table generating unit generates the second color conversion table that sets a color that corresponds to an intersection point corresponding to the target point among the intersection points of the two empty circles, as the definition colors.
