ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus which forms a halftone image on a print medium (200) using multipass processing of reciprocally scanning a single area by an inkjet head (220) a plurality of number of times, forming dots in one of reciprocal scan operations, and moving the inkjet head (220) to a home position in the other reciprocal scan operation includes a print data generation unit (370) which generates print data of each print-scan operation, a printer engine (180) which prints a halftone image on the basis of the print data generated by the print data generation unit (370), and a sensor (230) which detects the state of printing in up to a print-scan operation immediately preceding a print-scan operation of interest. The print data generation unit (370) corrects print data in synchronism with printing by the printer engine (180) on the basis of the detected printing state.
