Patent attributes
An image processing device is capable of generating single-hue image data from color image data, which include at least two records of a first area to be filled with a first color based on first hue component data and a second area to be filled with a second color based on second hue component data, the first and second areas establishing one of line contact and overlap therebetween. The image processing device includes a density determining unit that determines a first density of the first area and a second density of the second area in the single-hue image data based on the first hue component data and second hue component data, respectively, a comparing unit that compares the first and second densities as determined, and a modifying unit that modifies at least one of the first and second densities based on the comparison result by the comparing unit.
