Abstract
An image forming system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an image distribution device and a printing device. The image distribution device distributes print image data, which includes frame image data including an image applied commonly to a plurality of print materials and variable data including information changed on a print material basis, to an external device via a network. The frame image data is configured to enable a setting that a special color setting is required. When the setting indicating that a special color setting is required is made for the frame image data, the printing device uses a color profile associated with the setting to combine the frame image data and the variable data and form the print image.
