Abstract An image forming apparatus (1) includes a toner image forming device (504) that forms a toner image by using at least one of a plurality of toners that include a color toner and a first 5 transparent toner that has a viscoelasticity higher than a viscoelasticity of the color toner; an intermediate transfer body (505) to which the toner image formed by the toner image forming device (504) is transferred; a second transfer unit (507, 508) that transfers the toner image transferred to the intermediate transfer body (505) to a recording medium; and a controller (10) that acquires characteristic information that represents a characteristic of in-plane resistance 10 variation of a currently-used recording medium before the toner image forming device (504) forms the toner image, and if the characteristic information indicates that the in-plane resistance variation of the currently-used recording medium is larger than a predetermined value, controls the toner image forming device (504) so that the toner image forming device (504) forms a transparent toner image by using the first transparent toner in such a way that a color toner image 15 formed by using the color toner is superimposed on the transparent toner image on the intermediate transfer body (505).
