PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform aggregated image arrangement for putting cut pieces of each aggregated image on the same side of the aggregated image in 4-up printing.SOLUTION: An image formation apparatus comprises an image storage part 31 in which an image processing apparatus 20 thereof has a storage region 31a corresponding to one side of a recording surface of a sheet. A control part 34 finds a position and a direction of arrangement of a page reduced image, such that a cut side of each page reduced image when a page reduced image of four pages intensively arranged on one sheet is cut in units of page reduced images is on the same side when page reduced images having been cut are put one over another in the same direction, in a storage region 31a. The control part 34 makes an image arrangement part 32 and an image direction adjustment part 33 perform arrangement and direction adjustment of the page reduced images.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
