Abstract

An image inspection device detects an abnormality of a formed image by comparing imaged data obtained by imaging the formed image with original image data of the formed image. The image inspection device includes a hardware processor that: adjusts the original image data to reduce sharpness of the original image data; and detects the abnormality by comparing the adjusted original image data with the obtained imaged data. The hardware processor partly restricts the reduction of the sharpness.
