Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a first developing member that develops a first toner image on a first image carrier with a brilliant toner containing a flat pigment; a second developing member that develops a second toner image on a second image carrier with a non-brilliant toner containing no brilliant pigment; and a controller that controls the first developing member and the second developing member. The controller controls a development efficiency of the brilliant toner of the first developing member to be lower than a development efficiency of the non-brilliant toner of the second developing member.
