Abstract
An electrophotographic printing system includes circuitry configured to: select, in accordance with an operation to an input device, a mask pattern made up of first toner representing black by a combination of a plurality of color toners, the mask pattern being overlaid on an image area of a target image to be concealed within image data; and generate, based on the image data, print data for overlaying and printing the selected mask pattern on the image area.

An electrophotographic printing system comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- select, in accordance with an operation to an input device, a mask pattern made up of first toner representing black by a combination of a plurality of color toners, the mask pattern being overlaid on an image area of a target image to be concealed within image data;
- and
- generate, based on the image data, print data for overlaying and printing the selected mask pattern on the image area.
A printing method for an electrophotographic printing system, the method comprising:
- selecting, in accordance with an operation to an input device, a mask pattern made up of first toner representing black by a combination of a plurality of color toners, the mask pattern being overlaid on an image area of a target image to be concealed within image data;
- and
- generating, based on the image data, print data for overlaying and printing the selected mask pattern on the image area.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including programmed instructions that cause a computer mounted on an electrophotographic printing system to execute:
- selecting, in accordance with an operation to an input device, a mask pattern made up of first toner representing black by a combination of a plurality of color toners, the mask pattern being overlaid on an image area of a target image to be concealed within image data;
- and
- generating, based on the image data, print data for overlaying and printing the selected mask pattern on the image area.
