Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a density detector that detects a density of a fog image formed on an image bearing member, a temporary determiner that determines a temporary fog margin which is a fog margin representing a difference between a developing bias to be applied to a toner bearing member and a charging bias to be applied to a charging device for charging the image bearing member based on a density detected by the density detector, and a corrector that corrects the temporary fog margin based on a change rate of a density detected by the density detector with respect to a change of a fog margin.
