Abstract
The image processing device divides image data into regions corresponding to a first pixel row, a second pixel row, a third pixel row, and a fourth pixel row, and generate output data, in which a generation rate of an ink droplet with a relatively large size, a generation rate of an ink droplet with a relatively small size, and the amount of ink discharged per unit area vary depending on a gradation value of the image data, for each of the divided regions. At the time of the generation of the output data, different output data items are generated for a third nozzle corresponding to the third pixel row when the first gradation value indicates a relatively high gradation and when the first gradation value indicates a relatively low gradation.
