Color image forming apparatus and method for forming a color image corrected for aberration in registration of image stations for each color

摘要

A color image forming apparatus is provided with a number of image stations respectively corresponding to different color components and adapted to form images of respectively corresponding color components in succession and in superposed manner on a recording medium transported through the a number of image stations. The apparatus has memories for storing image data of respective color components to be supplied to the image stations, detectors for detecting aberration in registration of the images of respective color components formed by the image stations, and a controller for controlling the write-in positions of the image data of respective color components into the memories, based on the output of the detector.
