Abstract

This invention is to solve the problem that when images are recorded mixedly in different resolutions, disturbance is brought to images, gaps are created between images, or excessively densified areas appear due to difference in resolutions, that is, changes of dot sizes and recording densities in recording in the area where images are recorded mixedly in high and low resolutions or such images are adjacently present. In a recording area in which images to be recorded in low and high resolutions are mixed, the recording position of images to be recorded in low resolution is offset relatively with respect to the images to be recorded in high resolution for the intended recording, thus achieving the objectives of this invention. Also, in the boundary portion where images to be recorded in low and high resolutions are adjacent to each other, supplementary dots are recorded or recorded dots are intermitted in accordance with the present invention. In this way, its objectives are achieved.
