Abstract
When an image representing positional information, formed with black spot pattern and the other image formed with color inks including cyan, magenta, and yellow are recorded on the same recording medium, the gradient of color data is corrected during data preparation of colors used for recording the image other than the black spot pattern, according to the duty of the black spot pattern. Thus, even if the other image is recorded to overlap with the black spot pattern, color changes of the image can be prevented to produce a high-quality image.
Claims10
A method for recording on one recording medium, a positional information image representing positional information corresponding to at least positions on the recording medium and the other image, using a recording apparatus that applies a recording material onto the recording medium, the method comprising:
- the step of obtaining information on recording of the positional information image according to record data for recording the positional information image;
- the correction step of correcting record data of said the other image so that a predetermined recording property of said the other image is varied, according to the obtained information;
- and
- the recording step of recording the positional information image and said the other image corrected, by applying a visible recording material on the recording medium.
A recording system comprising:
- a recording apparatus for perform recording by applying a recording material onto a recording medium according to image data;
- a transmitter for transmitting the image data to the recording apparatus;
- preparation means for preparing image data corresponding to an image to be recorded;
- acquisition means for obtaining information on recording of a positional information image, according to record data for recording the positional information image, the positional information image representing positional information corresponding to positions on the recording medium;
- and
- correction means for correcting record data for recording said the other image according to the information obtained by the acquisition means,
- wherein the recording apparatus records the positional information image and said the other image corrected by the correction means, by applying a visible recording material on one recording medium.
A recording apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium, comprising:
- recording means for performing recording by applying a visible recording material onto the recording medium, the recording means recording at least one of a positional information image representing positional information corresponding to the position where the positional information image is recorded and the other image;
- a control means for controlling the recording such that the recording means records the positional information image with a recording material capable of being detected by a predetermined detector, and said the other image with another recording material incapable of being detected by the detector;
- and
- correction means for correcting record data for recording said the other image, according to record data for recording the positional information image.
