Abstract
A image processing apparatus of the present invention comprises an image generation unit configured to generate image data of one page, a printing unit configured to mount color material on an intermediate transfer member to perform printing, and an obtaining unit configured to obtain a time (a time between print pages) showing a time interval between printing one page and printing next one page by the printing unit, and the printing unit outputs patches for adjusting density to be reproduced in the printing, to the intermediate transfer member in the time between print pages.
Claims9
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image generation unit configured to generate image data of one page;
- a printing unit configured to transfer color material to an intermediate transfer member to perform printing;
- and
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain a time (a time between print pages) which shows a time interval between printing image data of one page and printing image data of next one page by the printing unit, wherein
- the printing unit outputs a larger number of patches to the intermediate transfer member as the time between print pages is longer, for adjusting density to be reproduced in printing by the printing unit.
A method for an image processing apparatus which includes an image generation unit configured to generate image data of one page and a printing unit configured to transfer color material to an intermediate transfer member to perform printing, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a time (a time between print pages) which shows a time interval between printing image data of one page and printing image data of next one page by the printing unit;
- and
- outputting a larger number of patches to the intermediate transfer member by the printing unit as the time between print pages is longer, for adjusting density to be reproduced in printing by the printing unit.
