PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase speed and reduce processing load in inspection of an image recorded on continuous record media with a recording head having a plurality of nozzles.SOLUTION: Judgment reference image data that has a resolution lower than a recording resolution in a direction in which a printing medium is conveyed is generated based on input image data. The judgment reference data and read data acquired by reading a recorded image are compared to each other to determine whether the recorded image has color unevenness or not.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】 複数のノズルを備える記録ヘッドを用いて、連続した記録媒体に記録された画像の検査を行う際の高速化及び処理負荷の低減。【解決手段】 入力画像データをもとに、記録媒体の搬送方向において記録解像度よりも低い解像度の判定用基準画像データを生成する。そして、判定用基準データと、記録された画像を読み取った読み取りデータとを比較することで、記録された画像に色ムラがあるかどうかを判定する。【選択図】 図６
