  • Publication number: 20060239454
    Abstract: An image forming method and an apparatus capable of adjusting brightness of text information and image information of printing data. In the image forming method, printing data is divided into the text information and the image information, brightness values of the text information and the image information are adjusted, and the printing data having the text information and the image information with the adjusted brightness values is printed. Therefore, the printing data can be printed after the brightness values of the text information and the image information of the printing data are adjusted, so that selected information can be emphasized. Also, either the text information or the image information can be omitted from the printing data when printing by adjusting the brightness value accordingly such that toner can be saved.
