ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an exposure mechanism to form a latent image by exposure, a latent-image carrier to hold the latent image, a charging mechanism to charge the latent-image carrier evenly, a development device to develop a latent image on the latent-image carrier into a toner image, a transfer mechanism to transfer the toner image formed on the latent-image carrier onto a transfer material, at least one asperity profile reading mechanism to read an asperity of an entire image area of the transfer material at least in a width direction thereof onto which a toner image is to be transferred, and a control mechanism to adjust a toner adhesion amount of the toner image transferred to the transfer material in accordance with a localized asperity of a surface of the transfer material read by the asperity profile reading mechanism.
