Information processing system and information processing apparatus

An information processing system comprising:

• an information processing apparatus;
• and
• a plurality of printers,
• wherein the plurality of printers include:
• a first printer;
• and
• a printer group including at least one printer,
• wherein the information processing apparatus includes:
• a processor configured to:
• acquire as a first measurement value a measurement value of a color of a first print product that the first printer has printed in response to a first print instruction;
• acquire as a second measurement value a measurement value of a color of the first print product that a second printer included in the printer group has printed in response to the first print instruction;
• and
• calculate, in response to a first difference value between the first measurement value and the second measurement value, a set value that is to be used by the second printer;
• acquire the measurement value of the color of the first print product from each of the printers in the printer group;
• indicate the printers included in the printer group, as a candidate for the second printer, in an order of from smaller to larger value of a second difference between the measurement value of the color of the first print product on each of the printers included in the printer group and the first measurement value;
• determine one of the indicated printers as the second printer;
• and
• transmit the set value to the second printer, and
• wherein using the set value, the second printer prints a second print product in response to a second print instruction that is also provided to the first printer.
