Abstract

An image processing system which makes deterioration in image quality, which derives from a color mismatch occurring during formation of a color image, indiscernible. The image processing system includes a generator which generates a first line image composed of a plurality of lines which are to be formed on a given medium, and a detector which detects a magnitude of a deviation of a scan position at which the first line image is formed on the given medium from a predetermined scan position at which the first line image is supposed to be formed on the given medium. Also included is a producing unit which produces a second line image composed of a plurality of lines by performing image conversion on the first line image, which substitutes for the first line image according to the magnitude of the deviation, and an image formation unit which forms the second line image on the given medium instead of the first line image.
