Abstract

There is disclosed an apparatus for processing a halftone image into a digital dot image. There are generated plural dots for the data of each pixel so as to form line screens in such a manner that smallest ones of the dots among the pixels constitute a line screen while other dots constitute line screens inclined to the scanning direction, in order to reduce Moire fringe pattern.
