Abstract
An image processing apparatus operable to generate data for printing an image onto a printing medium using a plurality of color materials. The apparatus generates a plurality of color image data corresponding to the plurality of color materials based on image data; generates multinary color data corresponding to a combination of the plurality of color materials based on the plurality of color image data; and generates quantized data corresponding to each of the plurality of color materials based on the multinary color data and a threshold matrix. The apparatus generates the quantized data such that a color difference between a generated color in a case where a shift in a relative printing position does not occur and a generated color in a case where a shift in a relative printing position occurs is small.
