ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for correcting a color registration are provided for improving the quality of images of an image forming apparatus. A surface condition is estimated of an intermediate transfer belt used to correct a color registration. A determination is made as to whether an abnormal section exists on the intermediate transfer belt. Location information is stored regarding the abnormal section on the intermediate transfer belt, if the abnormal section exists. A mark for color registration correction is formed on a normal section, other than the abnormal section. The color registration is corrected using the mark. Accordingly, if a partially inferior section appears in the intermediate transfer belt and a mark is not normally formed, the color registration is successfully corrected.
