Abstract

The present invention provides an image processing apparatus which can perform image processing suitable for each image in a job as well as provides an image processing program storage medium. The image processing apparatus has an information storage section which stores processing information used for predetermined image processing in memory by associating it with front and back sides of paper each, a color conversion section which performs a color conversion process on an image based on the processing information associated by the information storage section with the front or back side on whichever the image is to be recorded, and a RIP section which converts the image data after color conversion into raster data while performing a correction process on the image data to correct image distortion.

Claims (10)

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:

an information storage section which stores processing information used for predetermined image processing by associating the processing information with front and back sides of paper each; and

a processing section which subjects an image to image processing based on the processing information associated by the information storage section with the front or back side on whichever the image is to be recorded,

wherein:

the paper contracts or expands when an image is recorded;

the information storage section stores, as the processing information, an expansion/contraction rate of the paper when an image is recorded on the paper; and

the processing section subjects an image to an expansion/contraction process based on the expansion/contraction rate associated as the processing information with the side on which the image is outputted.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the expansion/contraction rate of the paper is based on a paper type of the paper.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the expansion/contraction rate of the paper is based on a type of ink used to form the image.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the expansion/contraction rate of the paper is based on a type of ink used to from the image and a paper type of the paper.
