Abstract
According to the present invention, for at least one specific type of ink drop from among a plurality of types of ink drops of different quantities of ink, dot data can be generated in such a way as to compensate for error of ink amount for each specific type of ink drop with reference to information representing error of ink amount for given specific type of ink drops. By means of this, even if there is deviation in error of ink amount for each of different types of ink drops, color can be reproduced more accurately.
