In an image information processing device, in order to execute printing with a printing apparatus that applies as a basic form any printing form of plural differing printing forms to print an image, a receiving unit receives image information and instruction information including printing form information and scale information for printing based on the image information. An extracting unit extracts an object whose printing form is to be changed in code image units on the basis of scale designation information. A comparing unit compares a dot pattern that is expanded on the basis of printing form designation information and a dot pattern that is expanded on the basis of the basic form. A determining unit determines, on the basis of the comparison result, whether or not to maintain a designated printing form based on the printing form designation information with respect to the extracted object.
