Claims
- 1. An image processing method comprising the steps of:
- an input step of inputting multi-level image data pixel by pixel;
- a first binarizing step of binarizing the multi-level image data and outputting first binary data;
- a first storing step of storing, in a memory, a plurality of first binary data, each of which is for each of a plurality of recording means, respectively;
- a first depositing step of depositing a recording agent onto a recording medium in accordance with the first binary data stored in said first storing step by using the plurality of recording means;
- a second binarizing step of binarizing the multi-level image data and outputting second binary data;
- a second storing step of storing, in a memory, a plurality of second binary data, each of which is for each of the plurality of recording means, respectively; and
- a second depositing step of depositing a recording agent onto the recording medium in accordance with the second binary data stored in the second storing step by using the plurality of recording means, wherein the first binarizing step and the second binarizing step respectively effect binarizing based on the same multi-level image data.
- 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein in said first and second binarizing steps, pseudo-halftone processing is performed.
- 3. A method according to claim 1, wherein in said first and second binarizing steps, binarization is performed by utilizing a look-up table.
- 4. A method according to claim 1, further comprising a controlling step of controlling a duration between a plurality of depositions of recording agents in accordance with the first and second binary data.
- 5. A method according to claim 4, wherein in said controlling step the duration is controlled to be sufficiently long for the recording agent which is deposited in accordance with the first binary data to permeate into a recording medium.
