ABSTRACT:
A color image forming device and method prevent occurrence of pile height moires specific to electrophotographic images in low-frequency areas and conventional moires in a digital screen set of four colors. In the color image forming device, by at least one of a halftone generating part and scanning signal forming unit in an image processing unit, differences among screen angles of three dot patterns corresponding to cyan, magenta and black toner images are in the range about 25 to 40 degrees, preferably 30 degrees; the screen angle of a first dot pattern corresponding to a yellow toner image is made equal to that of a second dot pattern corresponding to the toner image of one of cyan, magenta and black; and the screen of the first dot pattern is brought about 150 to 210 degrees, preferably about 180 degrees out of phase with the screen of the second dot pattern.
