Abstract
An output apparatus for printing a proof sheet and making a planographic printing plate, comprising a printing image data generating means for producing the digital data of a plurality of different color images corresponding to a predetermined number of colors obtained by the color separation of the image data of an original to be printed; a proof sheet outputting means for sequentially forming a screened dot image of each color by using each color toner based on the printing image data derived from said printing image generating means; a planographic printing plate output means for forming a screened dot image of each color by using one recording medium for each color and the oil affinitive toner of each color based on the digital data of each color generated by said printing image data generating means. By providing further a means for compensating for the difference in characteristics between the printing of a proof sheet and the planographic printing (actual printing), one output apparatus can output both the data for printing a proof sheet and the data of the actual printing (the planographic printing).
