Abstract
An image processing device supplies image data to be used in an image forming apparatus, the image processing device including a control unit configured to process the image data in accordance with an image quality processing parameter, wherein the control unit distinguishes between an overprint region in which overprinting of a coat layer of a transparent material is to be performed on a transfer medium and a non-overprint region in which the overprinting is not to be performed, and adjusts a difference in image quality between the overprint region and the non-overprint region by using the image quality processing parameter.
Claims22
An image processing device that supplies image data to be used in an image forming apparatus, the image processing device comprising:
- a data input unit that receives image data;
- a processor that executes a program stored in a memory to perform operations including:
- distinguishing, in the received image data, between an overprint region in which overprinting of a coat layer of a transparent material is to be performed on a recording medium and a non-overprint region in which the overprinting is not to be performed;
- and
- performing image quality processing to correct the received image data by adjusting a difference in image quality between the overprint region and the non-overprint region by adjusting at least one of a plurality of image quality processing parameters, the image quality processing parameters including a linewidth adjustment parameter and an image contour enhancement intensity parameter;
- and
- a data output unit which outputs the image data corrected by the processor.
