ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes image forming means for forming a superposed image on an image bearing member by using at least toners which have an identical hue and different color densities; transfer means for electrostatically transferring the superposed image on the image bearing member onto a transfer material; and changing means for changing a mixing ratio between the toners which have an identical hue and different color densities depending on information on a water content of the transfer material, thereby to prevent a deterioration of an image, particularly a halftone image even in the case where the image is formed under a specific image forming condition, such as in a low humidity environment, liable to cause image deterioration due to a discharge phenomenon in the vicinity of a transfer portion.
