Abstract
A method for forming a toner image on a photoreceptor includes charging a photoreceptor to a charged electric potential; exposing the photoreceptor so as to form a reference latent image for each of three colors with an exposure light having a reference image density; developing the three reference latent images with yellow, magenta and cyan developers each of the developers including a carrier and one of the yellow, magenta and cyan color developer so as to form a superimposed three color toner image; detecting a color balance between the superimposed three color toner images by separating reflected light from the superimposed images; and consuming at least one color developer of the yellow, magenta and cyan developers in accordance with a detection result of the color balance so that a new color balance of the superimposed three color toner images will have a desired color balance.
