Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image former that forms a color image by superimposing images of respective colors formed on respective different photoconductors on an intermediate transfer body, the image former continuously forming color images of pages on one continuous paper, and the image forming apparatus includes: a first hardware processor that performs job management for each color and generates print job data in which a margin region having a first width is set on an upstream or a downstream in a sheet passing direction of an image forming region of each page; a second hardware processor that detects a color shift amount of each color of the image forming region; and a third hardware processor that corrects a formation position of the image forming region to be a print target page next on the print job data for a color in which a color shift has occurred.
