<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color image forming apparatus capable of steadily detecting and measuring chromaticity and accurately correcting color tone. <P>SOLUTION: The color image forming apparatus includes image forming means for forming developer images in a plurality of colors, and a fixing unit 61 for fixing the developer images onto a recording sheet P under heat and pressure. The color image forming apparatus is characterized by comprising: a color sensor S1 for detecting the density or chromaticity of a patch 81 formed by each image forming means and fixed by the fixing unit 61; a pressing plate 103 disposed opposite the color sensor S1 and adapted to press the recording sheet P to the color sensor S1; an opposite roller 102 disposed opposite the color sensor S1 and adapted to convey the recording sheet P, pressed by the pressing plate 103, while sandwiching it. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
