Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming part having a transfer part including a transfer member and a rotation member to face the transfer member, and the transfer part to transfer a developer with a transfer voltage to a recording medium of which a front surface is with a transfer region and a non-transfer region, in the transfer target region where the developer is to be disposed and in the non-transfer region where the developer is not to be disposed; a measuring part that measures a first electric resistance value and a second electric resistance value, the first electric resistance value being defined as in a state in which the transfer region is not present between the transfer member and the rotation member, and the second electric resistance value being defined as in another state in which the transfer region is present therebetween; and a control part that determines the transfer voltage value in the transfer part based on the first electric resistance value and the second electric resistance value.
