At least two registration marks are formed for each of the reproduction colors cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Each of the marks for each color is formed at a different position in the main scanning direction. Each position of the marks is detected, and the deviation is obtained for each color from the detection result. Using the obtained deviations, a correction approximation function is formulated that is used for determining writing positions for pixels of an image. In accordance with the correction approximation function, an image writing position at which an image forming unit starts writing is corrected, so that color deviations caused from various factors can be prevented.
