Abstract: A control portion, by an image density sensor detecting density of reference images for image density correction formed by a plurality of image forming portions, adjusts a developing voltage and an exposure amount of an exposure device based on the detection result. The control portion, based on the density of the reference images detected by the image density sensor, sets a common developing voltage such that the densities of the reference images are equal to or higher than a target density in all of the two or more image forming portions among the plurality of image forming portions. The control portion, by adjusting a toner adhesion area ratio for image forming portions of the two or more image forming portions in which the densities of the reference images exceed the target density when a common developing voltage is set, adjusts the densities of the reference images to the target density.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a normal image formation mode and a wide color gamut image formation mode in which an amount of a developer per unit area of a developer image of at least a color that differs from a prescribed color among a plurality of colors is increased as compared to the normal image formation mode. Image data is generated such that an image portion formed in the prescribed color in an image formed on a recording material is formed solely by a developer image of the prescribed color in the normal image formation mode, but formed by superimposing a developer image of a color that differs from the prescribed color on a developer image of the prescribed color or formed solely by a developer image of a different color in place of a developer image of the prescribed color in the wide color gamut image formation mode.

Abstract: A cyan toner is provided. The cyan toner comprises toner particles each comprising a binder resin and a colorant. From 1.0% to 20.0% by number of the toner particles have a CH rate of 7.0% or more in absolute value. The CH rate is calculated from the following formula (1):
CH rate (%)=[(In−Iave)/Iave]×100 Formula (1)
where, in a Raman spectrum of each toner particle, In represents an integrated intensity within a wavenumber region of from 2,600 to 3,180 cm−1 when an intensity at a wavenumber λ within a wavenumber region of from 2,600 to 2,800 cm−1 is s normalized to 1, where a total intensity of all the toner particles is maximum at the wavenumber λ; and Iave represents an average of the In.-

Abstract: A cartridge for an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a developing roller, a rotatable member for transmitting a rotational force to the developing roller, a coupling member, and a frame. The coupling member is capable of moving between a first coupling member position in which the coupling axis is substantially coaxial with the rotational axis of the rotatable member and a second coupling member position in which the coupling axis is not coaxial with the rotational axis of the rotatable member. When the frame is in a first frame position, the coupling member is in the first coupling member position and a rotational force receiving portion of the coupling member engages with a rotational force applying portion of the apparatus, and, when the frame is in the second frame position, the coupling member is in the second coupling member position and the rotational force receiving portion engages with the rotational force applying portion.

Abstract: A cartridge includes a coupling member, a transmitted member, and a rotary member. The transmitted member includes an accommodating portion configured to accommodate the coupling member, and a protruded portion integrally formed with an inner wall of the accommodating portion and protruding from the inner wall toward an inside of the accommodating portion. The coupling member includes a free end portion having a rotational force receiving portion that receives a rotational force, a connected portion connected to the transmitted member in such a manner that at least a part of the connected portion can be accommodated in the accommodating portion, and a recessed portion provided at the connected portion so that the protruded portion can enter. An inclination angle of a rotation axis of the coupling member relative to a rotation axis of the transmitted member is variable.
