  • Patent number: 9235789
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a detector, a memory, and a converter. The detector detects a ruling and an angle of a screen from a binary image of each plate, the binary image being obtained as a result of screen processing. The memory stores a detection result for a plate for which a ruling and an angle have been detected by the detector. The converter converts an image obtained as a result of screen processing into a multi-level image by using, for a plate for which a detection result has been stored in the memory, a ruling and an angle in the detection result, or by using, for a plate other than the plate for which a detection result has been stored in the memory, a ruling and an angle obtained as a result of detection performed by the detector.

  • Patent number: 9036215
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a color measurement portion printing unit, a colorimeter, and an image evaluating unit. The color measurement portion printing unit prints at least one color measurement portion. The colorimeter measures a color of the color measurement portion. The image evaluating unit evaluates, on the basis of a measured color value obtained by the colorimeter and a predetermined reference value, whether or not an image printed in response to a print request satisfies quality requirements that are based on a predetermined standard. The image evaluating unit evaluates whether or not the image satisfies the quality requirements, on the basis of a measured color value of a color measurement portion whose color is the same as a color used in the image or whose color difference from the color used in the image is within a predetermined range, among plural color measurement portions.
