Abstract
To suppress color moire in a color image recording apparatus, a method for recording a color image by forming recording dots of at least first through third colors on a recording medium in a plurality of lines of recording dots each extending in a main scan direction and a plurality of rows of recording dots each extending in a sub-scan direction, wherein each line is divided into a predetermined number of lines in a sub-scanning direction to form sub-lines, and dots are printed in a respective sub-line for every line. Printing is performed so a respective dot for at least one color is arranged so that the number of sub-lines between the respective recording dot and a recording dot immediately before the respective recording dot in the sub-scanning direction is different from the number of sub-lines between the respective recording dot and a recording dot immediately after the respective recording dot, and in adjacent rows in the main scanning direction, recording dots are formed so that repeating phases of the recording dots differ from each other.
