Abstract
An information processing apparatus is connected to a print control apparatus for generating image data. The information processing apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate gloss control plate data for specifying a type of a surface effect imparted to a recording medium and a region in the recording medium to which the surface effect is imparted; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the gloss control plate data to the print control apparatus.
Claims7
An information processing apparatus connected to a print control apparatus for generating image data, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a generating unit configured to generate gloss control plate data for specifying a type of a surface effect imparted to a recording medium and a region in the recording medium to which the surface effect is imparted;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit the gloss control plate data to the print control apparatus.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium including programmed instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer connected to a print control apparatus for generating image data, cause the computer to execute:
- generating gloss control plate data for specifying a type of a surface effect imparted to a recording medium and a region in the recording medium to which the surface effect is imparted;
- and
- transmitting the gloss control plate data to the print control apparatus.
An image forming system comprising:
- a print control apparatus configured to generate image data;
- an information processing apparatus connected to the print control apparatus;
- a generating unit configured to generate gloss control plate data for specifying a type of a surface effect imparted to a recording medium and a region in the recording medium to which the surface effect is imparted;
- and
- a clear-toner-plate generating unit configured to generate, based on the gloss control plate data, clear toner plate data corresponding to presence or absence of one or a plurality of post-processors connected to a printing apparatus and a type(s) of the post-processor(s).
