Abstract
An image formation system includes an image forming section that includes a belt and a roller. The image forming section forms, in a predetermined region of a sheet, either: a first patch image for performing tone correction of a toner image formed on the sheet, or a second patch image for monitoring color variation of the toner image formed on the sheet. The image forming system further includes a controller that controls the image forming section to form only one of the first patch image and the second patch image on any one sheet.
