| abstract |
An image forming method is disclosed in an inkjet recording apparatus, which uses L (L≧1) kinds of ink, includes a recording head capable of ejecting “n” sizes of ink droplets M[n] (n≧1), and records an image on a recording medium by separating a tone forming region on the recording medium when the sizes of the ink droplets are determined to be M[ 1 ], M[ 2 ], . . . in order from the smallest size. When beading is generated by ink droplets M[i] (i≧1) or more, the method includes the steps of forming a halftone pattern by arraying dots of the ink droplets in a mesh type or a line type with a fixed pitch in the ink droplets M[j] (j≧i), and not ejecting the ink droplets M[j] onto all pixel positions of the recording medium other than the positions of the halftone pattern. |
