Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a printing device, a storage device, in which unevenness correction data indicating a corrected pixel value in association with each input pixel value are stored, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine, among pixels indicated by raster image data of an image to be printed, edge pixels corresponding to an edge image portion and non-edge pixels corresponding to a non-edge image portion, carry out unevenness correction on the raster image data selectively with respect to the determined non-edge pixels, using the unevenness correction data stored in the storage device, generate print image data based on the raster image data subjected to the unevenness correction, and control the printing device to print the image based on the generated print image data.
