Gradation data for each color to be input to a recording apparatus includes dot-recording-position information for every unit pixel and information for determining a nozzle position in a recording head for recording a dot. The information for determining the nozzle position makes determination in accordance with image data of an ink with resin and image data of an ink without resin. In a region where the ink with resin and the ink without resin overlap with each other, the ink without resin can land first.
