Abstract
An image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure stores image data of an image having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having stepwise different densities, including a first region, a second region, and a third region between the first region and the second region, and satisfying a relationship of a moisture amount in the first region<a moisture amount in the third region<a moisture amount in the second region, and forms the stored image data on a print medium.
Claims12
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit storing image data of an image having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having stepwise different densities, including a first region, a second region, and a third region between the first region and the second region, and satisfying a relationship of a moisture amount in the first region<a moisture amount in the third region<a moisture amount in the second region;
- and
- an image forming unit configured to form the stored image data on a print medium,
- wherein a size of the third region is determined from a moisture amount difference between the first region and the second region.
An image forming method comprising:
- a storage step of storing, by a storage unit, image data of an image having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having stepwise different densities, including a first region, a second region, and a third region between the first region and the second region, and satisfying a relationship of a moisture amount in the first region<a moisture amount in the third region<a moisture amount in the second region;
- and
- a forming step of forming, by an image forming unit, the stored image data on a print medium,
- wherein a size of the third region is determined from a moisture amount difference between the first region and the second region.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- a storage step of storing, by a storage unit, image data of an image having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having stepwise different densities, including a first region, a second region, and a third region between the first region and the second region, and satisfying a relationship of a moisture amount in the first region<a moisture amount in the third region<a moisture amount in the second region;
- and
- a forming step of forming, by an image forming unit, the stored image data on a print medium,
- wherein a size of the third region is determined from a moisture amount difference between the first region and the second region.
