PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image-forming device and an image-forming method which control conditions for forming a toner image on an image carrier on the basis of the toner amount of a reference toner image formed on the image carrier such as a photoreceptor, which is provided in an image-forming device such as a copying machine, a printer, a facsimile or the like, in consideration of an influence of an image, which is formed before the reference toner image is formed. SOLUTION: Conditions for forming toner images on image carriers 20Y, 20M, 20C and 20BK are controlled by using: a toner amount-detecting means 90 which detects the toner amounts of reference toner images formed on the image carriers 20Y, 20M, 20C and 20BK; and a corrected toner amount-computing means 64 which computes corrected toner amounts which are obtained by correcting the toner amounts detected by the toner amount-detecting means 90 according to images formed before the reference toner images are formed. The control is made on the basis of the corrected toner amounts computed by the corrected toner amount-computing means 64. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
