Abstract

See full text

A printing apparatus includes a dot data generating section configured to: compare a first threshold which is aligned with a dither mask and a corresponding gradation value which corresponds with the image data which is input; generate the dot data by determining that dots are to be formed in a case where it is determined that the corresponding gradation value exceeds the first threshold and generate the dot data by determining the forming of dots due to application of an error diffusion method by comparing correction data, where error diffusion in the image data is complete, and a second threshold in a case where it is determined that the corresponding gradation value does not exceed the first threshold as a result of the comparing; and diffuse errors, which occur as a result of generating the dot data, to pixels in a predetermined range in the vicinity in both cases.
