<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of reducing the difference of image quality between outputted images in the service period of a transfer belt or an intermediate transfer belt. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus where toner images formed on photoreceptor drums 222a to 222d are transferred to paper P carried by the transfer belt 216 is equipped with a rotation history monitoring device 35a for monitoring the rotation history of the transfer belt, a rotation history storing memory 35b for storing rotation history information obtained by the device 35a, a spatial filter processing device 35d for performing spatial filter processing using a filter factor to the digital image signal of an inputted image, and a filter factor controller 35c changing the filter factor used in the device 35d in accordance with the rotation history information stored in the memory 35b. The spatial filter processing device performs the spatial filter processing using a plurality of filter factors in the service period of the transfer belt. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
