IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18678950 titled 'IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
The abstract describes an image forming system that includes an image forming unit, a varnish coating unit, a reception unit, and a control unit. The image forming unit creates images on different types of recording media, including those with and without a coated layer. The varnish coating unit applies varnish to the recording medium after the image is formed. The reception unit receives printing jobs from users, and the control unit manages the varnish coating unit's operations.

Questions about Image Forming Systems with Varnish Coating: 1. How does the varnish coating process enhance the quality of printed images? The varnish coating adds a protective layer that improves image durability, color vibrancy, and overall appearance.
2. What are the key factors to consider when selecting the appropriate varnish coating for different types of recording media? The type of recording media, desired finish (e.g., glossy or matte), and environmental factors (e.g., humidity and temperature) play a crucial role in choosing the right varnish coating for optimal results.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming system includes an image forming unit, a varnish coating unit, a reception unit, and a control unit. The image forming unit executes an image forming process of forming an image on types of recording media including a first type of recording medium with a coated layer and a second type of recording medium without a coated layer. The varnish coating unit executes a varnish coating process of varnish coating a recording medium on which an image is formed by the image forming unit. The reception unit receives a printing job from a user. The control unit controls the varnish coating unit. When the printing job received by the reception unit is a printing job for executing the varnish coating process on the second type of recording medium, the control unit controls the varnish coating unit to prevent the varnish coating unit from executing the varnish coating process.
