ABSTRACT:
A method for processing a color image for printing to reduce an amount of marking material used therefor, includes: providing a printer capable of printing multiple dot sizes at any given print pixel, the multiple dot sizes including at least a large dot size and a small dot size smaller than the large dot size; determining if marking material for multiple colors of the color image are to be printed at the print pixel; and printing the color image with a combination of the large dot size and the small dot size, wherein either of the large dot size and the small dot size is printed at the print pixel if only a single color is printed at the pixel, and at least one of the small dot size is printed at the print pixel if more than one color is printed at the pixel.
