Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes the following: a stamp shape data generation unit configured to generate stamp shape data indicating a shape of a stamp image, wherein the stamp image includes stamp color data indicating a color of the stamp image; a stamp combining unit configured to (i) generate planes of the stamp shape data corresponding to color components of the stamp color data, wherein a color density of each plane of the stamp shape data is equal to a color density of a corresponding color component of the stamp color data, and (ii) combine the planes of the stamp shape data with respective planes of image data to form a combined image; and an output execution unit configured to execute an output operation on the combined image.

An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a stamp shape data generation unit that configured to generate stamp shape data indicating a shape of a stamp image, wherein the stamp image includes stamp color data indicating a color of the stamp image;
- a stamp combining unit configured to (i) generate planes of the stamp shape data corresponding to color components of the stamp color data, wherein a color density of each plane of the stamp shape data is equal to a color density of a corresponding color component of the stamp color data, and (ii) combine the planes of the stamp shape data with respective planes of image data to form a combined image;
- and
- an output execution unit configured to execute an output operation on the combined image.
An image forming method, comprising:
- generating, via a stamp shape data generation unit, stamp shape data indicating a shape of a stamp image, wherein the stamp image includes stamp color data indicating a color of the stamp image;
- generating, via a stamp combining unit, planes of the stamp shape data corresponding to color components of the stamp color data, wherein a color density of each plane of the stamp shape data is equal to a color density of a corresponding color component of the stamp color data;
- combining, via the stamp combining unit, the planes of the stamp shape data with respective planes of image data to form a combined image;
- and
- executing, via an output execution unit, an output operation on the combined image.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having instructions of an image forming program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a computer executes the image forming program, wherein the image forming program comprises:
- a first program code for causing the computer to generate stamp shape data indicating a shape of a stamp image, wherein the stamp image includes stamp color data indicating a color of the stamp image;
- a second program code for causing the computer to generate planes of the stamp shape data corresponding to color components of the stamp color data, wherein a color density of each plane of the stamp shape data is equal to a color density of a corresponding color component of the stamp color data;
- a third program code for causing the computer to combine the planes of the stamp shape data with respective planes of image data to form a combined image;
- and
- a fourth program code for causing the computer to execute an output operation on the combined image.
