Abstract
In an image forming apparatus wherein a multiple number of image supports form developer images of different colors so that the developer images of different colors corresponding to the multiple number of image supports are superimposed to a recording medium to form an image, flywheels are set at the ends of the rotary shafts of multiple image supports corresponding to relatively highly visible colors while no flywheel or a flywheel having a different diameter or weight from that of the above is set for the image support corresponding to a less visible color so as to make the inertial condition different from that of the others.
