Abstract

An image processing apparatus for forming an image on the basis of density data of respective picture elements corresponding to an original image, which includes a first memory for storing density data of the respective picture elements obtained by reading the original image, a multiline screen processing processor for processing the stored density data to add at least a part of density data of one of adjacent picture elements to that of another one, and a second memory for storing the processed density data. An image is formed by a printer on the basis of the density data stored in the second memory.
