Abstract
There are provided a print image-forming device and device for forming print images and a printing apparatus incorporating the device. A basic image is created which has a plurality of elementary images including at least one fixed-sized elementary image and at least one variable-sized elementary image. A reduced image of the basic image is formed as the print image by reducing at least one of the at least one variable-sized elementary image of the basic image, when the basic image cannot be printed as the print image within the printing area.
