Abstract
In a print data editing device, controller is configured to perform: editing; and converting. The editing edits print data representing an input image such that when sub-dots constituting the input image are compared by units of columns before and after performing the editing, a coincidence is maximized when an image of each column in the input image after the editing is the same position as an image of the corresponding column in the input image before the editing or is shifted by a corresponding shift amount in a sub-scanning direction relative to the image of the corresponding column in the input image before the editing. The converting includes: determining one or more sub-dot as a conversion sub-dot; and editing the print data such that the print data indicates OFF for the one or more sub-dots determined as the conversion sub-dot.
