==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image forming system includes an image forming unit, a varnish, a receiving unit, and a control unit. The image forming unit executes image forming processing to form an image on a plurality of types of recording media including a first type recording medium having a coated layer and a second type recording medium that is without a coated layer. The varnish application unit executes varnish application processing to apply varnish to a recording medium on which the image is formed by the image forming unit. The receiving unit receives an instruction for selecting a recording medium and to receive an instruction for the varnish application processing. The control unit performs control to prevent the receiving unit from receiving an instruction to execute the varnish application processing on the second type recording medium.
