Abstract

The invention provides a printing system, an image processing apparatus, a control method thereof, a storage medium, and a program product. The printing system includes an image forming apparatus and a diagnostic apparatus. The image forming apparatus creates a printed product corresponding to an input image, and the diagnostic apparatus detects an image defect included in the printed product based on a read image obtained by reading the printed product, obtains a feature of the detected image defect in a case where the image defect is detected, and transmits the image defect to the image forming apparatus. And identifying factors of image defects based on the obtained features. In the process of obtaining the feature, if a predetermined condition of the detected image defect is satisfied, the image forming apparatus stops creation of the printed product and causes the diagnostic apparatus to obtain the feature of the image defect based on a read image obtained by reading the printed product.
