Abstract
An image forming device is provided, including a generation part, a determination part and a printing part. The generation part generates a plurality of types of binarized image data with respect to original image data. The determination part determines the binarized image data, in which an error between each of the plurality of the types of the binarized image data and the original image data is smaller, among the plurality of the types of the binarized image data. The printing part prints the binarized image data determined by the determination part on a medium.
Claims19
An image forming device, comprising:
- a processor, configured to
- generate a plurality of types of binarized image data with respect to original image data by using a same conversion method that uses two types of dither matrices,
- determine one type of the binarized image data having a smaller error with respect to the original image data among the plurality of the types of the binarized image data;
- and
- printer part, controlled by the processor to print the type of the binarized image data determined by the processor to have a smaller error with respect to the original image data.
