An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- an image forming unit configured to form an image using a plurality of consumables;
- an input unit configured to receive an input of information designating the consumables to be used for forming the image;
- and
- a control unit configured to selectively display other candidates of the consumables to be used for forming the image based on the designated consumables,
- wherein when developing agent information designates the developing agent is input to the input unit, the control unit determines, based on a sheet combination condition that is a predetermined condition between the developing agent and the sheet, a sheet satisfying the sheet combination condition with the developing agent indicated by the developing agent information and selectably displays the determined sheet.
