Abstract (en)

In order to determine existence of a color stain over a wide area on a sheet, a sheet stain determination apparatus is provided with: an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image of a sheet; a memory configured to store therein reference data for specifying color change of the sheet due to aging; and a determination unit configured to, based on the image of the sheet and the reference data, detect a sheet whose color has changed over a region of a predetermined area or more from an original color after printing of the sheet, and determine whether the detected sheet is a sheet whose color has changed due to aging or a color-stained sheet whose color has changed due to a color stain.
