摘要:
An image forming apparatus capable of decreasing the image unevenness of a superimposed image at the time of forming starting (head) lines of the images in respective colors with different beams in order to decrease a shift of a superimposed image. Let a position, where an image in a first color is formed with a beam A as a leading beam, be (a). Let a starting position of formation of an image in a second color be (b), and one dot (line) of shift arises in the superimposed image. In order to decrease the shift of the superimposed image, image formation is performed with selecting a beam B as a beam which writes a head of the image (c). When image formation is performed for color shift reduction with changing a leading beam for each color image, tonality correction is performed to each beam for subsequent images so as to decrease image unevenness due to the difference between shapes and exposure power of respective beams.

In a belt apparatus used for image formation structured such that processing unit used for image formation are placed around a belt extended between at least two rollers and at least one of the processing unit acts on a roller so as to impart a rotational load thereto, it is possible to avoid a reduction in the image quality of a transfer image on the belt caused by the roller that supports the belt receiving variations in the load due to the movement towards or away from the belt of a cleaning blade. A drive source is connected to the roller to which directly receiving the load variation making this roller the drive roller for the belt.

An image forming apparatus includes an intermediate transfer member, a sensor, and two image forming units. Each of the image forming units includes an image carrier, an image writer, two development rollers, and a switcher. The image writer writes an electrostatic latent image on the image carrier. Each of the development rollers selectively driven by the switcher visualizes the electrostatic latent image to form toner images in four colors. The toner images are transferred and superimposed onto the intermediate transfer member to form a color toner image. The color toner image is transferred onto a transfer sheet. One or more marks are formed on the intermediate transfer member. The sensor detects one of the marks. The image writer starts writing in synchronism with a sync clock signal of the image writer output immediately after the sensor detects the mark or output after a predetermined time period elapses after the sensor detects the mark.

An image forming device is provides, which comprises a body to be scanned that moves in a sub-scanning direction; a writing means for scanning the body in a main scanning direction with a light beam according to image information to form a reference image on the body and repeating the scanning plural times to form plural images; and a second body on which the plural images are overlaid to form a color image. The writing means starts writing the reference image at a start time ty1 when a main scanning synchronizing signal is firstly generated by the writing means after a time tx1 when a predetermined time has lapsed from detection of an image forming start signal of the sub-scanning direction for the reference image. A start time for an image other than the reference image is changed depending on the start time of the reference image.

An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes two developing units each including two developing rollers facing a particular photoconductive drum and rotatable about respective axis parallel to the axis of the drum. Each developing unit is supported by a respective image forming unit and angularly movable about an axis substantially parallel to the axis of the drum. When each developing unit is angularly moved by a preselected angle, a gap for development is established between one of the developing rollers and the associated drum.

An image formation apparatus has photo conductor drums, and upstream developing rollers and downstream developing rollers that are brought into contact with respective photo conductor drums based on a changeover. The developing rollers develop latent images into visual images. A time required to change over a developing unit from one developing unit to the other developing unit is set as follows. A changeover time T2 from the downstream developing rollers to the upstream developing rollers respectively is set shorter than a changeover time T1 from the upstream developing rollers to the downstream developing rollers.

An ink-jet image recording apparatus including a sheet feed mechanism feeding a recording sheet along a sheet feed path; an ink-jet recording head provided in the sheet feet path so as to record an image on the recording sheet transported through the sheet feed path, by projecting ink droplets to the recording sheet; and an ink viscosity adjusting mechanism provided in the sheet feet path and providing a substance layer on the recording sheet at an upstream side of the recording head, such that the recording head records the image through the substance layer. The ink viscosity adjusting mechanism further removes the substance layer from the recording sheet at a downstream side of the recording head after the image is recorded.

An image forming system and method form temporarily attached color particles corresponding to an image on an intermediate image transfer device. The color particles are temporarily attached to the intermediate image transfer device by supplying energy, such as optical or thermal energy, corresponding to image signals, where the source of energy is located on the reverse side of the intermediate image transfer device from the side on which the particles are temporarily attached. Finally, an adhesion device transfers the color particles corresponding to the image from the intermediate image transfer device to a printing sheet and fuses the image into the printing sheet.
