Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a first image forming portion configured to form a brilliant developer image with a brilliant developer; a second image forming portion including at least one image forming portion configured to form a developer image with at least one non-brilliant developer; and a controller configured to control operation of the first image forming portion and the second image forming portion in accordance with received print data. When the controller causes the brilliant developer image to be formed on a medium in accordance with the print data by the first image forming portion, the controller causes a black developer image to be formed between the brilliant developer image and the medium by the second image forming portion.
