An image formation apparatus includes: a data generation unit configured to generate image data based on image formation data giving an instruction to print an image including image regions, the image data indicating pixel values of the image regions; and an image formation unit configured to form the image on a recording medium based on the image data generated by the data generation unit. The data generation unit generates the image data such that a boundary between one of the image regions and an image region adjacent to the one image region is highlighted, if the pixel value of the one image region and the pixel value of the adjacent image region are approximate to each other.
