IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

摘要

Provided are an image forming apparatus and an image forming system with which it is possible to reduce the number of types of process color that are used. A multifunctional peripheral (MFP) (20) is provided with: a print image information generation section (29a) that generates print image information for a print image on the basis of an input image; and a print execution section (29b) that outputs the print image in accordance with the print image information generated by the print image information generation section (29a) (S121), wherein the print image information generation section (29a) converts brightness gradations in the input image into lightness gradations in a single hue expressed by two or more types of process colors (S118), to generate the print image information (S120).
