Abstract: A halftone dot area percentage is determined under desired output conditions as to a recording medium, an exposure condition, a printing condition, a screen ruling, a screen angle, and the like. Continuous tone correction data are generated from the halftone dot area percentage, and stored in a continuous tone correction data memory. A halftone dot corrector corrects desired continuous tone image data based on the continuous tone correction data. Then, the corrected continuous tone image data into halftone dot image data by halftone dot image data binary processor. A high-quality halftone dot image free of tone jump is generated from the halftone dot image data.
