Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: an image former that prints a foil stamping image on a recording material in accordance with a job for printing the foil stamping image, the foil stamping image being a target to which foil is transferred in foil stamp printing; and a hardware processor that trims an image on a page identical to at least one page included in the job such that the image on the identical page does not overlap an image adjustment mark that is printed for adjusting an image to be overprinted, and causes the image former to print, together with the job, the identical page having the trimmed image.

An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image former that prints a foil stamping image on a recording material in accordance with a job for printing the foil stamping image, the foil stamping image being a target to which foil is transferred in foil stamp printing;
- and
- a hardware processor that trims an image on a page identical to at least ore page included in the job such that the image on the identical page does not overlap an image adjustment mark that is printed for adjusting an image to be overprinted, and causes the image former to print, together with the job, the identical page having the trimmed image.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image former that prints a foil stamping image on a recording material in accordance with a job for printing the foil stamping image, the foil stamping image being a target to which foil is transferred in foil stamp printing;
- and
- a hardware processor that makes, from the job, a duplicate of a page having an image that does not overlap an image adjustment mark that is printed for adjusting an image to be overprinted, and causes the image former to print, together with the job, the duplicate of the page having the image that does not overlap the image adjustment mark.
An image forming method comprising:
- trimming an image on a page identical to at least one page included in a job for printing a foil stamping image, the foil stamping image being a target to which foil is transferred in foil stamp printing, such that the image on the identical page does not overlap an image adjustment mark that is printed for adjusting an image to be overprinted;
- printing, on a recording material together with the job, the identical page having the trimmed image;
- performing foil stamping using a foil stamping apparatus on the recording material having the foil stamping image printed;
- printing the image adjustment mark on the recording material having the identical page laving the trimmed image printed;
- and
- performing overprinting on the recording material subjected to the foil stamping after image adjustment is performed using the image adjustment mark.
An image forming method comprising:
- making, from a job for printing a foil stamping image, the foil stamping image being a target to which foil is transferred in foil stamp printing, a duplicate of a page having an image that does not overlap an image adjustment nark that is printed for adjusting an image to be overprinted;
- printing, on a recording material together with the job, the duplicate of the page laving the image that does not overlap the image adjustment mark;
- performing foil stamping using a foil stamping apparatus on the recording material having the foil stamping image printed;
- printing the image adjustment mark on the recording material of the duplicate of the page;
- and
- performing overprinting on the recording material subjected to the foil stamping after image adjustment is performed using the image adjustment mark.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable image forming program for causing a computer to execute:
- trimming an image on a page identical to at least one page included in a job for printing a foil stamping image, the foil stamping image being a target to which foil is transferred in foil stamp printing, such that the image on the identical page does not overlap an image adjustment mark that is printed for adjusting an image to be overprinted;
- and
- causing the identical page having the trimmed image to be printed on a recording material together with the job.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable image forming program for causing a computer to execute:
- making, from a job for printing a foil stamping image, the foil stamping image being a target to which foil is transferred in foil stamp printing, a duplicate of a page having an image that does not overlap an image adjustment mark that is printed for adjusting an image to be overprinted;
- and
- causing the duplicate of the page having the image that does not overlap the image adjustment mark to be printed on a recording material together with the job.
