Printing control device and image formation system

An image formation system comprising:

• a printing control device configured to generate image data that comprises colored plane data for adhering colored toner and clear toner plane data for adhering colorless clear toner;
• and
• a printing device configured to perform printing based on the image data, wherein
• the printing control device comprises:
• a generation unit configured to generate the clear toner plane data based on a type of a surface effect which is applied to a recording medium and gloss control plane data for specifying an area in the recording medium to which the surface effect is applied;
• a first gradation correction unit configured to perform first gradation correction that varies per combination of a color of the colored plane data and the surface effect, with respect to each of a plurality of items of colored plane data that configures the colored plane data;
• and
• an output unit configured to output the image data generated based on the clear toner plane data generated by the generation unit and the colored plane data to which the first gradation correction is applied.

An image formation system comprising:

• a printing device configured to perform printing based on image data that comprises colored plane data for adhering colored toner and clear toner plane data for adhering colorless clear toner;
• a printing control device configured to control the printing device;
• and
• a server device configured to be connected with the printing control device through a network, wherein
