Abstract
Temperature of a printing mediumis sufficiently decreased by stopping the printing mediumin a discharge path, conveying the printing medium at a low speed, switching a conveyance path, or the like. If the temperature of the printing mediumcan be sufficiently decreased, the thermochromism phenomenon is suppressed. As a result, it is possible to provide an image forming apparatus capable of achieving highly accurate color matching and color stability.
