<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that uses dark toners and light toners which have the same hue and are different from each other in density, the image forming apparatus forming a high-quality image irrespective of the surface roughness of a recording material, and to provide an image forming method. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus is equipped with: an image bearing member; a toner image forming means forming a toner image on the image bearing member, using light toners and dark toners which have the same hue as that of the light toners and are darker than the light toners; a transfer means which electrostatically transfers a toner image on the image bearing member onto the recording material; and an adjusting means which adjusts the toner image forming means so that a rate between the dark toners and the light toners included in a toner image with predetermined density on the image bearing member is changed according to the roughness of the surface of the recording material onto which the toner is transferred. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
