According to this invention, there is provided an under-color removal method and the device therefor including the steps of selecting a minimum density out of equivalent neutral densities of three primary colors in order to reproduce desired colors, calculating a black-printer amount of said selected equivalent neutral densities using a predetermined function, calculating the amounts of three primary color under-colors to be removed based on the three primary color equivalent neutral densities and the black-printer amount respectively and by means of a preset look-up table, subtracting the three primary color under-color removal amounts from the three primary color equivalent neutral densities, obtaining an amount of ink or dot percentage corresponding to a difference of the substraction and to the black-printer amount, and outputting the same.
