<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the occurrence of image density unevenness more reliably than before. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus includes resistance detection means for detecting electrical resistances of primary transfer rollers 25Y, M, C, and K, or electrical characteristic detection means for detecting predetermined electrical characteristics each having correlation with these electrical resistances. The image forming apparatus further includes a control unit that is configured to perform processing to determine proper values of output currents from primary transfer power sources 81Y, M, C, and K on the basis of the detection result by the resistance detection means or the electrical characteristic detection means in addition to the image area ratio of photoreceptors 2Y, M, C, and K. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
