Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first image forming unit, a second image forming unit, and a control unit configured to control the first image forming unit and the second image forming unit. The control unit performs control so as to allow execution of a first mode and a second mode in which a color gamut of an image to be formed on a printing material is expanded from the first mode, as an image forming mode for forming an image on a printing material. The second mode includes a second single-color mode in which image formation is performed by only the first image forming unit and a second multicolor mode in which image formation is performed by the first image forming unit and the second image forming unit.
