Abstract: Color shift detection requires additional processing as compared to detection of other items, and thus increases the load on the inspection processing. Conventional inspection apparatuses have a problem that the processing speed associated with inspection is affected and the costs of the inspection processing apparatus are raised. In a case where an inspection setting specified by a user includes color shift detection (YES in S406), scan image data of a printed material for a test print is determined to be a reference (S407). Then, comparison is made between scan image data obtained by scanning the printed material associated with a print job and the scan image data of the printed material for the test print.
