<p>An image forming apparatus includes a gloss difference reducing unit that reduces a difference between gloss of an first image that is formed without using transparent toner in a first mode and gloss of a region, which does not use transparent toner, of a second image that is formed using transparent toner on part of an image in a second mode. The first mode is set for forming the first image onto a medium in one fixing operation. And the second mode is set for forming the second image by implementing a second fixing step that fixes transparent toner to part of an intermediate image, after a first fixing step that fixes the intermediate image that has been formed by toner other than transparent toner on the medium.</p> |
