An information processing apparatus, in accordance with rising density in an extreme density range, determines a threshold for setting each pixel of a threshold matrix so as to consecutively grow an isolated dot corresponding to a halftone dot in a low density range to a first dot size for each submatrix, sets, when the size of isolated dots in a predetermined number of submatrices is grown to the first dot size, an intermediate position between the isolated dots in the predetermined number of submatrices; and determines, for each of one or more submatrices including a set intermediate position, a threshold to set for each pixel of the threshold matrix so that an isolated dot is consecutively grown until a second dot size smaller than the first dot size.
