A printing system of the present invention reduces a total amount of discharge of at least three different color inks that are mixable to express hues in a predetermined range without deteriorating the degree of granularity. The printing system of the invention reads recording ratios of the respective color inks corresponding to input tone data regarding the respective color inks from tables TC, TM, and TY and forms dots according to the recording ratios. Yellow ink Y has a higher dye density than a balancing density that ensures a color balance. This makes the recording ratio of the yellow ink Y lower than the recording ratios of cyan ink C and magenta ink M. The yellow ink Y has high lightness, so that sparely formed dots do not increase the degree of granularity even in an area of low tone data. The enhanced density of the yellow ink Y reduces the total amount of inks discharged from a head to satisfy a required printing density.
