A sheet processing device that processes a printed sheet, comprising:
- a detector configured to detect a printed part printed on the sheet;
- and
- a refining prevention agent applicator configured to selectively apply a refining prevention agent that prevents refinement of the sheet to a printed area including the printed part detected by the detector.
A sheet processing method of processing a sheet supplied as feedstock of recycled sheets, comprising:
- a detection process of detecting a printed part printed on the sheet;
- and
- a refining prevention agent application process of selectively applying a refining prevention agent that prevents refinement of the sheet to a printed area including the printed part detected by the detection process.
