An image processor includes an input unit which inputs color image data, and a color correction unit which effects under color removal processing and black generation processing on the color image data conforming to the characteristic of a recording medium, and outputs data indicative of a plurality of color components including a black component. The color correction unit effects the under color removal processing and the black generation processing so that the total output level of the data indicative of the plurality of color components including the black component may assume a value conforming to the color image data.
