<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation system that is provided with a plurality of RIP process parts, and can perform an RIP process dispersedly in parallel and improve performance of the RIP process even when pages determined to require a high RIP process succeed.SOLUTION: In an image formation system 11, when print data in PDL description is received from host devices 12A, 12B, and 12C through a network NW, A PDL analysis part of a DFE 111 analyzes and separates the print data into text, graphic, and image objects, and an RIP process part of the DFE 111 determines allocation of which of the local device and an MIC 112 executes an RIP process on each object on the basis of a result of a determination on whether the load of the RIP process is high or low, and also executes an RIP process not in page units allocated to the local device, but on each divided object. In the MIC 112, an RIP process part also executes an RIP process on each object allocated to the local device.</p> |
