<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color image forming apparatus, capable of yielding satisfactory color images by always realizing satisfactory transfer conditions in the secondary transfer, regardless of the toner adhesive amount of a color toner image. <P>SOLUTION: The color image forming apparatus is equipped with a color toner image forming means for successively primarily transferring different color toner images formed electrostatically on a plurality of image carriers through a developing stage under a set specified developing conditions to an intermediate transfer body and secondarily transferring the formed color toner image to a transfer material; a pre-secondary-transfer destaticizing means provided on farther downstream side than a primary transfer area in the moving direction of the intermediate transfer body and on farther upstream side than a secondary transfer means, and having a discharge electrode which imparts charge, having a reverse polarity to the toner and a grid electrode to which voltage having the same polarity as the toner is applied; and a density detection means for detecting the density of the toner image on the image carrier. The level of the voltage applied to the grid electrode is decided, based on the toner electrification amount standard value set up, based on the output value of the density detection means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
