PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for forming an image of higher image quality by correcting irregular density in real time. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus which forms a halftone image on a print medium using multipass processing includes: a print data generation section 370 which generates print data of each print-scan operation; a printer engine section which prints a halftone image on the print medium on the basis of the print data generated by the print data generation section 370; and a sensor 340 which detects the state of printing on the print medium by the print engine part up to a print-scan operation immediately preceding a print-scan operation of an interest in at least print-scan operation performed once out of print-scan operation performed by a plurality of number of times. The print data generation section 370 corrects print data in synchronism with printing by the printer engine section on the basis of the detected printing state. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
