Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a transportation belt, a print engine, and an ejection timing control unit. The transportation belt transports a print sheet. The print engine ejects ink onto the print sheet. The ejection timing control unit adjusts an ink ejection timing of the print engine. The transportation belt includes a flushing opening part. The print engine repeatedly performs ink flushing to the flushing opening part at predetermined timings. Further the ejection timing control unit derives an adjustment amount for the ink ejection timing of the print engine on the basis of: a number of the ink ejection timings in a period from a previous flushing time to a current flushing time, a distance from the flushing opening part for the flushing at the previous flushing time to the flushing opening part for the flushing at the current flushing time, and a print resolution.
