An inkjet image forming apparatus includes: an image former that forms an image on a transfer body by discharging an ink droplet from an inkjet head; and a hardware processor that detects a landing state of the ink droplet that has been discharged and landed on the transfer body and changes an image forming condition when the image is formed so that a detected landing state approaches a target landing state.

Inkjet image forming apparatus and image forming condition changing method

An ink jet recording apparatus contains a conveyer which conveys a recording medium, the conveyer having conveyance members on which the recording medium is mounted; a recorder which jets ink onto the recording medium being conveyed; and a fixer which fixes the ink landed on the recording medium. The ink is curable by a predetermined energy ray. The fixer irradiates the ink on the recording medium with the predetermined energy ray. The conveyer passes the recording medium for conveyance between the conveyance members and moves the recording medium in respective planes by movement of the conveyance members.

An inkjet recording apparatus includes: a conveyor having an endless conveying belt that conveys a recording medium; an image former that forms an image on the recording medium conveyed by the conveying belt; a correction mark formed on the conveying belt; a line sensor disposed downstream of the image former in a conveying direction of the recording medium, the line sensor having a linear detection surface; and a hardware processor that controls the conveying belt, the image former, and the line sensor, wherein the hardware processor calculates an inclination angle of the detection surface of the line sensor with respect to a width direction orthogonal to the conveying direction, based on image data of the correction mark read by the line sensor, and corrects image data of the line sensor based on the inclination angle.

There is described a film conveying apparatus drawably mounted onto an image-forming apparatus. The apparatus includes a film stacking section to stack photosensitive films on it, a conveying device being movable between a film conveying position and a film supplying position to convey the photosensitive films one by one from uppermost one, a first shading member that encloses both the film stacking section and the conveying device and has a conveyance opening from which the photosensitive film is conveyed out by the conveying device so as to maintain a light-shading state for both the film stacking section and the conveying device when the conveying device parks at the film conveying position; a second shading member, being movable relative to the first shading member, to open and close the conveyance opening; and a shading-member moving device to move the second shading member so as to open and close the conveyance opening.
