Abstract: An image processing system includes an image forming apparatus, and an image processing apparatus connected to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus forms an image, acquires a chromaticity value that is a result of measurement of a sheet on which the image is formed with use of a sensor in which a characteristic of a light source is fixed, and transmits the acquired chromaticity value to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus receives the transmitted chromaticity value, specifies a condition when the result of the measurement using the sensor is acquired, and converts the received chromaticity value with use of the specified condition and information regarding an amount of an optical brightening agent contained in the sheet on which the image is formed.

Abstract: In a case where an inspection level to be used in determining quality of an image of an inspected surface of a printed sheet is set based on a comparison between a captured image resulting from imaging the inspected surface and a reference image, a plurality of inspection regions varying in inspection level is set for the reference image. In a case where an overlap region is present in the plurality of inspection regions, an inspection level of the overlap region is identified based on a predetermined priority. Further, the identified inspection level of the overlap region is displayed.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a chromaticity value, which is a measurement result for a sheet to be measured, by using a sensor in which a light source has fixed characteristics; a designation unit configured to designate a condition under which the measurement result is acquired by the sensor; a determination unit configured to determine an optical brightening agent amount contained in the sheet; and a chromaticity value conversion unit configured to convert the chromaticity value, which is acquired by the acquisition unit, by using the condition designated by the designation unit and information about the optical brightening agent amount determined by the determination unit.

Abstract: A sheet management system, in which a print control apparatus and an image forming apparatus are configured to communicate with each other, includes a selection unit, an adjustment unit, a confirmation unit, and a setting unit. The selection unit selects a sheet feeding deck. The adjustment unit adjusts sheet information including setting values for performing print processing on a sheet to be used for printing. The confirmation unit confirms. In a case where there is not a match between selected sheet information set for the sheet feeding deck and the sheet information to be adjusted, the confirmation unit confirms whether the sheet information to be adjusted by the adjustment unit is to be set for the selected sheet feeding deck. The setting unit sets the sheet information adjusted by the adjustment unit for the image forming apparatus in accordance with a result of confirmation by the confirmation unit.
