摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a developing apparatus for developing an electrostatic image with a developer comprising at least a toner and a first external additive, the developing apparatus including a plurality of developing devices, containing toners different in color or lightness from each other, in which at least two developing devices contain a dark color toner and a light color toner which have an identical hue and different lightnesses and the developing device containing the light color toner is subjected to a developing operation prior to another developing device; a first transfer apparatus for sequentially transferring toner images, which have been developed by the plurality of developing devices, onto an intermediary transfer member; and a second transfer apparatus for transferring the toner images from the intermediary transfer member all together onto a transfer medium The first external additive includes particles having an aspect ratio of not less than 1.0 and not more than 1.5 and a number-average particle size of not less than 0.06 μm and not more than 0.3 μm, and has a coverage thereof with respect to the light color toner larger than that with respect to the dark color toner in a transferred state on the intermediary transfer member.

摘要:
At a time for resetting a transfer voltage after a predetermined time period from the performance of ATVC in both a color mode and a monochrome mode, ATVC is performed only in a currently running mode. A transfer voltage in another mode that the ATVC has not been performed at that time is set based on results of the ATVC performed in both the color and monochrome modes and a result of the ATVC performed in the other mode at that time.

An image-forming apparatus includes: a first image carrier for carrying a light toner image which is formed with a light toner; a first transfer member for electrostatically transferring the light toner onto an intermediate transfer body; a second image carrier for carrying a dark toner image which is formed with a dark toner having the same hue as that of the light toner and having a density higher than that of the light toner; a second transfer member for electrostatically transferring the dark toner image onto the intermediate transfer body; and a secondary transfer member for transferring the dark toner image and the light toner image electrostatically onto a recording medium together, in which the light toner has a volume mean particle diameter greater than that of the dark toner.
