Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units for respectively forming images of plural colors in a superposed manner on a recording material in a case of adjusting the relation position of the images of plural colors on a recording material. A first image forming unit among the plural image forming units forms a line of a first color on the recording material, while a second image forming unit forms a line of a second color on the recording material such as to cross the line of the first color at a non-perpendicular angle. An adjustment unit adjusts the relative positions of the images of plural colors on the recording material, based on input information.
