Abstract: A printing system making easy to obtain a printed matter that the customer desires is provided to eliminate the conventional technique's drawback that the customer might fail to obtain the desired printed matter because it is made by using only plural layout patterns and photographic images stored in the printing dealer's server. Specifically, a client (computer) has a rough layout data creation part with which when a layout list information is inputted to the client, an expression information stored in the layout list information is allocated in simplified form thereby to create a rough layout data. A server receives the rough layout data outputted from the client and creates, based on the rough layout data, a print layout data in which a part data read from a part data storing part are allocated, and performs printing. This requires no detail print setting on the customer side, thus making easy to obtain the printed matter having the desired layout.
