Abstract:
An image processing device includes a storing unit and a creating unit. The storing unit stores a single set of line dither matrices. The single set of line dither matrices includes a first line dither matrix for first color, a second line dither matrix for second color, and a third line dither matrix for third color. Each of the first line dither matrix, the second line dither matrix, and the third line dither matrix includes threshold values that are arranged to make halftone dots grow linearly and including a plurality of n×n sub-matrices. N is set to an integer greater than 1. The first dither matrix has a first screen angle. The second dither matrix has a second screen angle that is different from the first screen angle. The third dither matrix has a third screen angle that is different from the first screen angle and the second screen angle. The creating unit is configured to create binary image data based on input image data using the single set of line dither matrices. A difference between the first screen angle and the second screen angle is set to either one of (π/2−arctan(1/n)) radians and (π/2+arctan(1/n)) radians. A difference between the first screen angle and the third screen angle is set to either one of (π/2−arctan(1/n)) radians and (π/2+arctan(1/n)) radians.
