Abstract
An image printing method, wherein one pixel is formed from a plurality of dots arranged in a primary scanning direction, in which printing elements are arranged, and in a secondary scanning direction perpendicular to the primary scanning direction; wherein the tone of one pixel is expressed by changing the overall printing area in accordance with whether or not the dots are printed; and wherein a multicolor image is printed by combination of one yellow pixel, one magenta pixel, one cyan pixel, and one black pixel, the method comprising the step of: setting to a nonintegral multiple a dimensional ratio among one yellow pixel, one magenta pixel, one cyan pixel, and one black pixel in the secondary scanning direction.
