Abstract
An image forming apparatus which is capable of suppressing occurrence of color moire. A second storage unit stores image data associated with at least two colors. A controller reads out the stored color-specific image data while designating a reading position in a sub scanning direction of the image data. A transfer unit transfers a color image onto a recording medium based on the read-out image data of each color. An image processing unit corrects the reading position in the sub scanning direction of the image data of each color according to profile data of each color defined based on position curve information in the main scanning direction of the transfer unit, when the controller reads out the image data. The controller regenerates the profile data if at least two pieces of the profile data satisfy a predetermined condition.
