Abstract
The color image forming apparatus of the present invention has two intermediate transfer media. With at least two of color images (Y+M+C+K) layered previously, the other remaining images are further layered thereon by a between-intermediate-transfer-media transfer device, and a color image is formed on a transfer material by a transfer material transfer device. The time required until the color image is outputted is shortened. Particularly, an image of single black can be outputted in a shortest time in image formation.
