Abstract
The present invention discloses an image forming apparatus for forming an image on a medium by jetting one or more droplets on the medium. The image forming apparatus includes a dot brightness changing part for changing a dot brightness of at least one target dot forming an outline part of the image to a brightness relatively greater than the dot brightness of other dots forming the outline part.
Claims22
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a medium by jetting one or more droplets on the medium, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a dot brightness changing part for changing a dot brightness of at least one target dot forming an outline part of the image to a brightness relatively greater than the dot brightness of other dots forming the outline part.
A program for causing a computer to execute an image forming process for forming an image on a medium by jetting one or more droplets on the medium, the program comprising a step of:
- changing a dot brightness of at least one target dot forming an outline part of the image to a brightness relatively greater than the dot brightness of other dots forming the outline part.
13-17. (canceled)
An image forming apparatus for forming an image including one or more dots on a medium by jetting one or more droplets on the medium, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- an outline correction part for correcting at least one target dot forming an outline part of the image by replacing the target dot with a replacement dot having a dot size different from the dot size of the target dot;
- and
- a replacement dot changing part for changing the method of replacing the target dot according to a factor causing deviation of dot formation position or deviation amount of the dot formation position.
26-35. (canceled)
