An image forming apparatus includes: a conveyance device which conveys an ejection receiving medium; and an ejection head which ejects and deposits droplets of liquid on the ejection receiving medium conveyed by the conveyance device, the deposited droplets of the liquid constituting an image on the ejection receiving medium, wherein the following conditions are satisfied: <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>gamma<SUB>S</SUB>>=gamma<SUB>L</SUB>; and<?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?> <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>d>=√{square root over (2xl, <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?> where gamma<SUB>S </SUB>is a surface energy of the ejection receiving medium, gamma<SUB>L </SUB>is a surface energy of the liquid, d is a diameter of each of the droplets of the liquid deposited on the ejection receiving medium, and l is a maximum of a resolution pitch of the image.
