1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
a print image generation unit configured to perform a first rasterization process for printing and thereby generate print image data and perform a second rasterization process for inspection and thereby generate reference image data, on the basis of a print request; wherein the first and second rasterization processes are performed on image information from the print request;
a print unit configured to perform printing based on the print image data onto a print paper sheet and thereby produce a print product;
an image scanning unit configured to perform image scanning of the print product and thereby generate scan image data; and
an inspection processing unit configured to compare the scan image data and the reference image data and thereby perform inspection of the printed matter;
wherein the second rasterization process is a rasterization process performed in a rendering condition different from a rendering condition of the first rasterization process.
