ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus which is capable of adjusting toner density in response to variations of humidity. The image forming apparatus includes a toner density detector that detects the density of toner inside an image developer, a humidity detector that detects toner humidity inside the image forming apparatus, and a controller that controls a toner supplier on the basis of the toner density detected by the toner density detector and that adjusts the toner density in accordance with variations of humidity detected by the humidity detector. The humidity detector is located at a position where the humidity detector can detect humidity of air around the image developer and where the humidity detector is minimally affected by heated air.
