Abstract: The invention relates to a color image processing method and apparatus therefor, in which dot area ratio is decided when color printing is performed using inks of the four colors yellow, magenta, cyan and black.In color printing, in principle most colors can be printed by the superimposed printing of inks of the three colors Y, M, C.However, when performing color printing using four colors, inclusive of black, it is difficult to decide the dot area ratio of each color for the purpose of reproducing a target color, and excellent color reproduction cannot always be obtained even if printing is performed at the dot area ratios decided by the conventional method.Accordingly, the invention is adapted to decide area ratios A.sub.Y, A.sub.M, A.sub.C, A.sub.K of the Y, M, C, K inks, which accurately reproduce a target color X, Y, Z, by a method based upon biquadratic Neugebauer equations with four unknowns using tristimulus values of 16 types of color points obtained from actual measurement of the Y, M, C, K inks employed in actual printing.Excellent color reproduction can be achieved if color printing is carried out in accordance with each of the area ratios decided by the invention.
