Abstract

An image processing device is structured such that an appropriate judgement of an image, at which blurring or disappearance or the like will occur, is possible. When pixels, which form a line image at which there is the possibility that blurring or disappearance will occur at the time of printing by using a printing plate, are extracted, a line image warning function gives notice by displaying a warning message on a monitor of a client terminal. Thereafter, image converting and print setting are carried out such that an extracted line image is clarified. In this way, when a proof is prepared, an image, at which there is the possibility that blurring or disappearance will occur on a printed matter obtained by using a printing plate, is clarified, and appropriate proofing is possible.

Claims (9)

1. An image processing device which carries out image processing on the basis of at least one of a drawing command and image data generated at an image processing terminal, the image processing device comprising:

an extracting section for extracting a predetermined line image from the at least one of the image data and the drawing command, the predetermined line image being extracted based on a clarification that the predetermined line image will at least one of blur or disappear when the predetermined line image is printed; and

a processing section for processing a predetermined process such that the line image extracted by the extracting section can be recognized as the predetermined line image.

2. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing section converts the line image extracted by the extracting section into a line image having a predetermined thickness or more.

3. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing section converts a color of the line image extracted by the extracting section into a predetermined color.

4. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing section erases the line image extracted by the extracting section.

5. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing section generates image data of only the line image extracted by the extracting section.

6. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the extracting section extracts the line image from raster data generated on the basis of the image data.

7. An image processing device according to claim 6 , wherein the extracting section extracts the line image by comparing pixels in a predetermined region and patterns set in advance.
