Abstract: Digital image data containing binary pixel values are reproduced, without any loss of detail, by a reproduction unit, such as a laser printer, having a lower base resolution than the resolution of the image data, by subjecting the image data to a resolution conversion, the resolution being reduced in one direction, to a value corresponding to the resolution of the reproduction unit, and enlarged in the remaining direction.
