Abstract
An image forming system includes an image forming unit, a measurement unit, a correction unit, and an inhibition unit. The image forming unit forms an image. The measurement unit measures densities of a plurality of density patches formed by the image forming unit. The correction unit performs a density correction for the image forming unit based on the densities of the plurality of density patches measured by the measurement unit. The inhibition unit determines whether or not the densities of the plurality of the density patches are normal based on at least one of the densities of the plurality of density patches, and, if the densities are determined not to be normal, inhibits the correction unit from performing a density correction based on the densities of the plurality of density patches determined to be not normal.
