Abstract
Color outputting method and apparatus are disclosed. A size of character to be generated is discriminated. Ratios of coloring materials constructing the color to be generated are corrected when the size of character is smaller than a predetermined value. When the coloring materials are corrected, the ratio of the coloring material of the highest ratio is set into 100% and the ratios of the other coloring materials are increased by only the same value as the highest ratio. Thus, a permanent visible color image can be formed at any size and in any color.
