Image processing apparatus, image printer, and method of image processing performed by the image processing apparatus

Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a print region storing section, image data producing section, image region detecting section, comparing section, deciding sections and image data processing section. The image data producing section stores a print region of a medium. The image data producing section produces image data. The image region detecting section detects an image region of the image data. The comparing section compares the print region with the image region, and outputs a comparison result. The deciding section determines based on the comparison result whether the image data should be printed in a borderless printing mode. The image data processing section processes the image data such that the image data is ready to print, the image data being processed when the comparison result indicates that the image data should be printed in the borderless printing mode.
