Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes the following. An image carrier carries a toner image. A transfer unit transfers a toner image held by the image carrier onto a sheet. A controller controls a relation of a position between the image carrier and the sheet so that the sheet continues to come into contact with the image carrier from a position where a distance from a transfer nip is within a predetermined range when the sheet enters the transfer nip during an image forming job. The transfer nip is formed by the image carrier and the transfer unit.
