An image formation apparatus includes an imaging light source, a photosensitive body and a correction light source. The imaging light source outputs light modulated in accordance with image data representing an image. An electrostatic latent image is formed at the photosensitive body by the light output from the imaging light source. The correction light source is provided separately from the imaging light source, and outputs light toward the photosensitive body for correcting one of variations in potential on the photosensitive body and irregularities in density distribution of an image, which image is to be formed in accordance with the electrostatic latent image that is formed on the photosensitive body by the imaging light source.

An image forming apparatus for continuously printing plural images has an empirical calibration part that performs color calibration processing based on a test image printed on recording paper, a predictive calibration part that performs color calibration processing based on a reference value that has been determined in advance, and a controller that allows the empirical calibration part and the predictive calibration part to perform color calibration processing. In the case where recording paper is switched and plural images are printed, the controller allows the empirical calibration part to perform color calibration processing when predetermined type of recording paper is used, and allows the predictive calibration part to perform color calibration processing when recording paper of other type is used.
