PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that reliably prevents white spot from being generated due to release accelerator adhering to an image carrier, without excessively consuming toner. SOLUTION: According to at least one of cumulative use time of a cleaning member and cumulative use time of the image carrier, a condition for forming a release accelerator absorbing toner image is changed. The condition for forming the release accelerator absorbing toner image may be a quantity of toner used for forming the release accelerator absorbing toner image. For example, as at least one of the cumulative use time of the cleaning member and the cumulative use time of the image carrier becomes longer, a quantity of toner used for forming a release accelerator absorbing toner image is increased. A quantity of toner used for forming a release accelerator absorbing toner image may be changed, by changing the area rate of all dots in the target area where the release accelerator absorbing toner image is formed.
