Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
When a skewness of brightness of a print target image is a first skewness, print data is generated such that an ink amount of a metallic ink is a first amount. When the skewness of brightness is a second skewness that is larger than the first skewness, a print data is generated such that the ink amount is a second amount that is larger than the first amount.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image data generation device that generates print data for a printing apparatus capable of forming a metallic dot and a non-metallic dot, comprising: a weighted average color separation section that sets as a target of halftone processing a value calculated using a weighted average of an ink amount obtained by performing color separation on a print target image by a first method in which the print target image which underwent color separation includes a m…
