Abstract
An image forming apparatus including a belt, a plurality of color information detectors, and a hardware processor. The belt is a belt on which images of a plurality of colors are formed to be laid on each other by a plurality of image formers that form the images of color components different from each other, the belt being colorless and transparent and having a transparency. The plurality of color information detectors are arranged on a front surface side and a back surface side of the belt, and detect, from the front and back surface sides, color information about a pattern image including two layers formed on the belt by two image formers among the plurality of image formers. The hardware processor calculates a color correction amount of an image formed by the two image formers based on detection results by the color information detectors.
