Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section and a controller. The image forming section transfers a toner image to a transfer target and includes plural developing units. The plural developing units include a first developing unit and at least one second developing unit. The plural developing units each include an image holding body and a developing roller. The image holding body has an outer circumferential surface and is rotated. The controller controls the image forming section so that, when a low-area-coverage portion and a high-area-coverage portion are disposed adjacent to each other and are formed by the first developing unit, a correction toner image is superposed on a boundary portion, where the low-area-coverage portion and the high-area-coverage portion are adjacent to each other, by the at least one second developing unit.
