Abstract: The present invention allows for printing a high quality image based on print data which is obtained by dividing multivalue image data into portions, one for each scan, and quantizing the divided portions of image data. To this end, multivalue input data is divided into input pass data for each scan, which is then corrected using error data. The corrected input values are added up to determine a total corrected input value. The total corrected input value is quantized into a total output value, which has fewer gradation levels than the input data. The total output value is then distributed unevenly among a plurality of printing scans to generate print data for each scan.

Abstract: In this invention, when a printer driver uses data obtained by referring to a table, the printer driver searches a first table of two, first and second tables to obtain a search condition of the second table. The printer driver searches the second table using the obtained search condition to obtain required data. When another search condition is added, the search condition is added to the first able, and data corresponding to the added search condition is added to the second table.

Abstract: In a color ink-jet printer using seven colors of ink including C, M, Y and K and c, m and y having low density, the data size of a conversion table used in color conversion is large. In view of this, compressed conversion table data, having compressed grid point data of a conversion table arranged by color components which are used to construct image data, is stored in a compressed data buffer. Then, the compressed conversion table data is expanded by a data restoration unit. Then, color conversion processor performs color conversion on inputted image data by interpolation operation based on the expanded conversion table data.
