There is provided an image forming system that is capable of making
uniform in size printed images, which should originally be the same in
size, between transfer sheets on which the images have been printed by a
plurality of printers having different functions and capabilities when
enough time has elapsed after fixing. In each of the printers, an image
controller or the like forms predetermined marks on a transfer material,
and a fixing device thermally fixes of the predetermined marks formed on
the transfer material, and a mark detecting device or the like detects
the predetermined marks. A host server connected to the printers via a
network adjusts the sizes of images to be formed by the respective
printers according to the predetermined marks detected by the respective
printers, and then transfers the image data to the printers. Each of the
printers performs image formation based on the transferred image data.
