Inspection system, design apparatus, and inspection method that generate correct answer data with design apparatus for production printing

A design apparatus for production printing comprising:

• a design unit configured to design variable print data;
• a correct answer generation unit configured to generate correct answer data for inspection when the variable print data is created by the design unit;
• a correct answer change unit configured to acquire processing information at the time of prepress and reflect it in the correct answer data generated by the correct answer generation unit;
• and
• an output unit configured to output the correct answer data changed by the correct answer change unit.

An inspection method executed by an inspection system having a design apparatus and an inspection apparatus for production printing, comprising the steps of:

• by the design apparatus, designing variable print data;
• by the design apparatus, generating correct answer data for inspection when the variable print data is created;
• by the design apparatus, acquiring the processing information at the time of prepress and reflecting it in the generated correct answer data;
• by the design apparatus, outputting changed the correct answer data;
• and
• by the inspection apparatus, inspecting based on the correct answer data generated by the design apparatus.
