    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: An image forming apparatus includes multiple image forming units that are arranged in one direction and form images by attaching developers to surfaces of image carriers and transfer the images onto recording media, the image forming units including a first image forming unit that forms an image of a developer of a first color on a surface of a first image carrier and a second image forming unit that is located downstream of the first image forming unit, forms an image of a developer of second color on a surface of a second image carrier and includes a contact member having a tip portion that contacts the surface of the second image carrier after the transferring, wherein the image forming apparatus performs at a predetermined frequency an operation that forms a predetermined image by attaching the developer of the second color to the surface of the second image carrier and causes the predetermined image on the surface of the second image carrier to pass between the surface of the second image carrier after the transferring and the tip portion of the contact member.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus records an image on a recording medium including a first layer developing a first color when exceeding a first temperature, a second layer developing a second color when exceeding a second temperature, and a third layer developing a third color when exceeding a third temperature. The image forming apparatus includes a head applying energy to the recording medium from the first layer side and a control device configured to control the energy to be applied to the recording medium by the head so as to form an image of a mixed color of the first color, the second color, and the third color on the recording medium by controlling the head to apply the energy to the recording medium to develop the first color on the recording medium after developing the second color or the third color.
