ABSTRACT:
An image forming method includes the steps of a) multi-level quantizing a multi-tone image by an error diffusion method, and b) representing each pixel of the thus-quantized image having a quantized level higher than 0 using a dot which is larger as the quantized level thereof is higher. Occurrence of dots having a specific size is repressed in a specific shade region relating to the dots.
