Abstract: Provided is a production printing system that enables more efficient and flexible processing. The production printing system X processes variable data for production printing. A variable document creation unit creates a variable document with a condition set for each record. A subset integration unit collects records of same type in any one or any combination of prepress, printing, post-processing, and output destination as a subset according to the condition set for each record of the variable document created by the variable document creation unit. A job ticket creation unit creates a job ticket corresponding to the subset collected by the subset integration unit. A variable processing unit performs processing of the job by the job ticket created by the job ticket creation unit.
Abstract: An information processing system includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: accept a job requesting print output of print data from an information terminal; determine one or more printing companies having a printing machine that can execute a job, among a plurality of printing companies, based on a state of a printing machine held by each one of the plurality of printing companies and a content of the job; and transmit information of the one or more printing companies determined, to the information terminal to display the information on the information terminal.
Abstract: An image formation apparatus to combine a plurality of processes to execute a job related to image formation, the image formation apparatus including: a communicator that sends and receives data to and from an external application via a network, an image data acquirer that acquires image data, an image former that forms an image based on the image data, a storage that stores temporary intermediate data involved in the image formation, a display that displays a message for a user, and a controller that controls the communicator, the image data acquirer, the image former, the storage, and the display; wherein upon performing a process of the plurality of processes, the controller determines whether a next process is present.
