Print System

A print system capable of processing a print order of image data through a network, comprising:

• an information device for storing image data;
• and
• an order reception server connected to the information device through a network,
• wherein before placing a formal print order, the information device transmits instruction information for creating an estimation and print information for specifying print content to the order reception server which is established in communication with the information device, while sending no image data to be printed,
• the order reception server creates an estimation based on the received print information, and transmits the estimation to the information device, and
• the information device which received the estimation transmits image data to be printed to the order reception server when placing a formal print order.

• the information device which received the estimation does not transmit print information for specifying print content when placing a formal print order, and
• the order reception server uses the print information for specifying print content which is received at the time of receiving the instruction information, as print information for a printing process.
