An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives customer information of a customer to whom a product is to be delivered, and image information to be printed on the product, an acquisition unit that acquires a state of a recording medium having an image printed thereon from the image information received by the receiving unit, and an associating unit that associates via a print job the state of the recording medium acquired by the acquisition unit with the customer information received by the receiving unit.

Information processing apparatus, printing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium

Provided is an image forming apparatus including a fixing unit that fixes a developer image which is formed on a thermoplastic recording medium by performing fixing processing that causes the recording medium on which the developer image is formed to be heated and pressed with transportation based on plural fixation parameters, a detection unit that detects an amount of extension and contraction which occurs in the recording medium by the fixing processing, and a suppression unit that controls at least one of the plural fixation parameters and suppresses the amount of extension and contraction which is detected by the detection unit.

Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes a first transfer unit that transfers a first image formed by first liquid containing a toner to a medium, a first supplier that has a first concave-convex pattern, has a first rotation axis, and rotates to supply the first liquid containing the toner to the first transfer unit, a second transfer unit that transfers a second image formed by second liquid containing a toner of which a color is the same as a color of the toner used in the first liquid to superimpose the second image on the first image transferred to the medium, and a second supplier that has a second concave-convex pattern, has a second rotation axis, and rotates to supply the second liquid containing the toner to the second transfer unit.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording material; an endless belt member; a pressure member that applies pressure to the belt member; a pressing member that presses the belt member from an inner side of the belt member towards the pressure member; and an adjusting section that adjusts a position of an end portion of a nip part at a downstream side in a movement direction of the recording material and a position of a curved portion of the belt member by moving or deforming the pressing member, the nip part being formed by the belt member and the pressure member, the curved portion of the belt member being formed by an end portion of the pressing member at a downstream side in the movement direction of the recording material.

Image forming apparatus and fixing device

An image processing apparatus that outputs color information to an image forming apparatus that forms a toner image on a sheet using color toner and transparent toner, the color information representing a toner image to be formed on the sheet by the image forming apparatus, including: an extracting unit that extracts a characteristic region from input image data; a first calculating unit that creates, based on the image data, first color information on a toner image corresponding to the color toner; a second calculating unit that calculates second color information by which a prescribed amount of the transparent toner is applied to the characteristic region extracted by the extracting unit; and an outputting unit that outputs the first and second color information calculated by the first and second calculating units to the image forming apparatus.

Image processing apparatus and image forming apparatus

An image forming system includes: an obtaining unit that obtains image information including a grey-level value of a pixel; a modifying unit that modifies the grey-level value of the pixel included in the image information obtained by the obtaining unit; a color image forming unit that forms on a recording medium a color image in accordance with information showing the color image including the grey-level value of the pixel modified by the modifying unit; and a transparent image forming unit that forms on the recording medium a transparent image overlapping the color image.

Image forming system and method for forming a color image on recording medium and for forming a transparent image overlapping the color image on a recording medium

There are provided a first section for acquiring image data; a second section for storing the acquired image data; a third section for acquiring accessory information; a fourth section for storing the accessory information; a fifth section for generating an image ID and an accessory information ID; a sixth section for embedding the image ID and the accessory information ID in the image data; a seventh section for extracting an image ID and an accessory information ID from a result of scanning of the index sheet; an eighth section for reading accessory information on the basis of the accessory information ID; a ninth section for selecting image data through use of accessory information; a tenth section for reading selected image data; an eleventh section for arranging the image data; and a twelfth section for sending index sheet images having the information embedded therein and the arranged album images.
