Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion, a transfer portion, a power source, a reading portion, and a controller. The controller executes an output operation so that first test images do not overlap with second test images, respectively, on a first side and a second side of a recording material. On the basis of information on a second test voltage for transfer of the second test image, of the plurality of second test images, of which information on a density read by the reading portion coincides with a preset condition, the controller sets a transfer voltage for image transfer onto the second side in double side image formation so that an absolute value of the transfer voltage set for the image transfer onto the second side in double side image formation is greater than an absolute value of the second test voltage that coincides with the preset condition.
