Patent attributes
There is described an image outputting system including an image outputting apparatus and a controlling apparatus to control the image outputting apparatus to form the image on a recording medium. The controlling apparatus includes: an extracting section to extract an edge, defined as a contour of an intermediate tone object, based on the image data; a correcting section to correct a density value located in a vicinity of the edge, to make the density value high and to generate corrected image data; and a halftone-dot image data generating section to convert the corrected image data to halftone-dot image-data, which represent a halftone-dot image constituted by halftone-dots, each of which is formed by a plurality of pixels based on the corrected image data. The controlling apparatus controls the image outputting apparatus so as to output the halftone-dot image formed on the recording medium, based on the halftone-dot image data.
