An image processing apparatus(100,104) that generates ejection data for a print head(10) in which a first nozzle array(L3) including nozzles(11) ejecting a predetermined color of inks and a second nozzle array (L1, L2) including nozzles(11) ejecting the predetermined color of inks are arranged in an intersection direction(A), includes a generating unit(103) for generating the ejection data so that in a case where image data is input in which the pixels corresponding to a first nozzles in the first nozzle array and the pixels corresponding to the second nozzles in a second nozzle array have the same value, the number of continuous pixels in the intersection direction, to which the predetermined color of inks are not ejected, in pixels corresponding to the first nozzles becomes larger than the number of continuous pixels in the intersection direction, to which the predetermined color of inks are not ejected in pixels corresponding to second nozzles.
