ABSTRACT:
The image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, wherein an electrostatic latent image is formed by illuminating light onto the photosensitive member charged; a developing device for adhering first toner to a portion of the electrostatic latent image to which light is illuminated to form a first toner image; a transferring device for transferring the first toner image onto a transferring medium; an adhering device for adhering second toner having polarity opposite to that of the first toner and light permeability to a portion of the electrostatic latent image to which light is not illuminated; and a light illuminating device for illuminating light onto at least the portion to which the second toner is adhered, after the second toner is adhered and before transferring is performed by the transferring device.
