Image forming apparatus, print data producing apparatus and image forming system

Abstract

A first developer image is overprinted on a second developer image printed on a medium. A user inputs, through an inputting section, a magnification ratio or a reduction ratio of at least one of the first developer image and the second developer material image that should be printed. The magnification and the reduction ratios are applied vertically and horizontally substantially. A data parser performs parsing of print data. A magnification/reduction section produces the first image and the second image from the print data based on a result of the parsing. The first image is subjected to a variable magnification process. An image forming section transfers and fixes the first developer material image onto the medium after the variable magnification process, and then transfers and fixes the second developer material image on the medium so that the first and second developer material images are placed one over the other.
