ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to an image processing system which can eliminate white gaps which are highly likely to be generated in, e.g., a non-contact color developing system by a simple arrangement, and can output a high-quality image. If it is determined that a white gap process is required, the flow advances to check if the converted data indicates a primary color (single color). Other colors undergo a gradation level reduction process, and a laser is minimally and uniformly turned on (background exposure) at a level which is imperceptible to the human eye by always setting level 1 (data of minimum, invisible level) so as to generate output information with a light amount at an invisible or non-developing level or less, thereby eliminating white gaps.
