1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
at least one memory that stores instructions; and
at least one processor that causes, by performing the instructions, the information processing apparatus to:
receive, via a network from an external apparatus, image data and quality request data;
interpret the received quality request data;
determine, based on the interpreted quality request data, a printing quality requirement;
transmit an adjustment instruction for performing an adjustment to satisfy the determined printing quality requirement to a production system, the adjustment being performed prior to printing based on the image data;
transmit the image data to the production system;
transmit, based on the interpreted quality request data, a print setting for executing the printing based on the image data to the production system;
transmit, based on the determined printing quality requirement, an inspection setting for inspecting whether a print product output by the printing satisfies the determined printing quality requirement to the production system; and
receive an inspection result of the print product from the production system.
