A disclosed image forming apparatus includes a carriage on which a recording head is mounted that has a nozzle array where plural nozzles for ejecting droplets are arranged, the carriage being configured to be moved in a direction orthogonal to a nozzle arrangement direction; a transport belt facing the recording head and configured to transport a sheet; a print pattern forming unit configured to form a print pattern on the transport belt by causing at least the nozzles at opposing ends of the nozzle array to eject the droplets onto the transport belt while stopping the carriage; a reading unit configured to read the print pattern; a measuring unit configured to measure print positions of plural points of the print pattern in a direction orthogonal to the nozzle arrangement direction; and a detecting unit configured to detect an inclination of the recording head.
