Image processing apparatus shifting image data between adjacent picture elements

摘要

An image processing apparatus for forming an image on the basis of density data of respective picture elements corresponding to an original image, which includes a first memory for storing density data of the respective picture elements obtained by reading the original image, a multiline screen processing processor for processing the stored density data to add at least a part of density data of one of adjacent picture elements to that of another one, and a second memory for storing the processed density data. An image is formed by a printer on the basis of the density data stored in the second memory.
