Abstract
In an electrophotographic image recording apparatus apparatus including a photoconductive image bearing member, a charging apparatus for uniformly charging the image bearing member, an exposure apparatus for effecting an imagewise exposure on a surface of the image bearing member after charging thereby forming an electrostatic latent image, a development apparatus for adhering a toner onto the electrostatic latent image thereby forming a toner image, and a transfer member for transferring the formed toner image onto a final support member such as plain paper, in case of forming an image with a hyperchromic toner and a hypochromic toner of a substantially same hue, image formation is executed with a writing resolution for the hypochromic toner larger than a writing resolution for the hyperchromic toner. Thus drawbacks of streak generation by a screen used for the hypochromic toner and a difficulty in obtaining a photographic texture can be resolved.
