  • Publication number: 20200167878
    Abstract: An information processing system including a server apparatus and an output apparatus is disclosed. For each output condition, a copy painting data are generated and stored based on imaging data, in which an original painting is imaged, and an output condition of the copy painting data, to represent the original painting. Management information indicating an output state is stored for each set of the copy painting data. The copy painting data, for which an output request is received, are output to the output apparatus, upon determining based on the management information that an output of the copy painting data is permitted in a case of receiving the output request of the copy painting data.
