Abstract
This paper presents a new pre-press image data compression technique nsing false contour smoothing for color quantized image. Our proposed technique processes original full color images along raster scan line and consists of two processes which are color image quantization process and pixel exchanging dither process. Color quantization process makes data compression of color images and pixel exchanging dither process makes false contour smoothing. These algorithms are very simple but very effective. This paper shows our proposed methods and many experimental results concerning full color pre-press images.
