Abstract
A color image processing apparatus includes arranging means for arranging intervals between dot positions on a scanning line at which dots are formed, and shifting means for shifting the dot positions on the scanning line by a shifting amount. At least one of the intervals and the shifting amount for a first color component are different from an interval and a shifting amount of a second color component. The processing apparatus also includes control means for controlling the arranging means and the shifting means so that n (n.gtoreq.3) adjacent dot positions at which the first color component and the second color component overlap correspond to vertices of a substantially regular polygon having n vertices.
