Image forming apparatus, control method, and medium for performing printing with a transparent recording agent

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine whether printing is designated to be performed using a transparent recording agent with respect to an area to be printed with a color recording agent having a density lower than a threshold among areas included in input image data, and a printing unit configured to perform printing by transferring the color recording agent and the transparent recording agent to a sheet and fixing the color recording agent and the transparent recording agent to the sheet by a single fixing process to form an image of the area if the determination unit determines that the printing is designated to be performed using the transparent recording agent with respect to the area to be printed with the color recording agent having the density lower than the threshold.

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a determination unit configured to determine whether printing is designated to be performed using a transparent recording toner with respect to an area to be printed with a color recording toner having a density lower than a threshold among areas included in input image data; and a printing unit configured to perform printing by transferring the color recording toner and the transparent recording toner to a sheet and fixing the color recording toner and the transparent recording toner to the sheet by a single fixing process to form an image of the area if the determination unit determines that the printing is designated to be performed using the transparent recording toner with respect to the area to be printed with the color recording toner having the density lower than the threshold.
