Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image formers each capable of forming, on a sheet, an overlap image and a non-overlap image, a fixer that fixes, on the sheet, a whole image composed of the overlap images and the non-overlap images, and a hardware processor that controls each of the plurality of image formers such that a difference in image at a boundary between the overlap image and the non-overlap image is reduced in the whole image.

Abstract: A developing device includes a hardware processor that performs control not to cause an image to be formed on an image bearing member by a first developer bearing member and to cause a first image to be formed on the image beating member by a second developer bearing member, in which the hardware processor corrects developing conditions of the plural developer bearing members based on a developability detection result of the first image formed by the second developer bearing member.
