  • Publication number: 20040212819
    Abstract: This invention provides an image printing system, method, apparatus, and the like which can shorten the data transfer time from an information processing apparatus to an image printing apparatus and can also shorten the printing time in the image printing apparatus when differential printing is performed. According to the image printing system of the invention, when differential printing is to be performed, a difference comparison/detection unit detects the difference between image information after a revision and image information before the revision which is recorded in advance. A printing information converting unit converts the image information of a portion in which the difference is detected into printing information, and outputs the printing information after the revision. A printing unit prints an image on the basis of this printing information.
