ABSTRACT:
In a color image forming apparatus, an electrostatic latent image based on image data is formed onto a photosensitive body. A toner image of the electrostatic latent image is transferred to an intermediate transfer belt. Final toner images are transferred to a transfer material together. Plural original images are synthesized and written onto the intermediate transfer belt by an image processing unit and a writing unit. A process of this image synthesis is displayed in a display of a display editor. The image processing unit and a main control panel write the synthesized images in accordance with a synthetic condition. The toner images finally formed on the intermediate transfer belt are transferred to the transfer material together. Accordingly, the images can be synthesized accurately and the color image forming apparatus can be simply constructed and can be cheaply manufactured. Color image forming methods are also shown.
