Abstract
An image inspection apparatus is capable of inspecting an image on a print sheet as an inspection object with high accuracy while conveying the print sheet from an upstream conveyance unit to a downstream conveyance unit. The image inspection apparatus inspects the print sheet conveyed at a first conveyance speed with a first conveyance unit of a printing device, with a first inspection unit, while conveying the print sheet at a second conveyance speed with a second conveyance unit of an inspection device. The first inspection unit is provided in a position downstream of an intermediate position between the first conveyance unit and the second conveyance unit by a length longer than a half of the length of the print sheet. Even when the first conveyance speed and the second conveyance speed are not substantially the same, no disorder occurs in the image read with the first inspection unit.
