ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier on which a plurality of latent patch images are formed by exposure of different luminance, and the latent patch images are developed to form toner patch images. The apparatus further includes a gradation correction curve forming device in which a gradation correction curve is made from reflection density data of the patch toner image. The correction curve is formed, and gradation correction processing is conducted in accordance with the correction curve, so that an image forming process can be carried out. Further, when the correction curve cannot be obtained, at least one predetermined gradation curve stored in a memory in advance is selected as a substitution for the correction curve.
