ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an image forming apparatus and an image forming method which can correct displacement of a forming position of an image with high accuracy even when a recording medium is strained into an arbitrary shape. Positional information representing positions of each of multiple locating holes made in advance on a printed wire board (PWB) is obtained by a camera, a forming area of a wiring pattern image on the PWB is virtually divided into multiple quadrilateral areas on the basis of the positional information, in each divided area, raster data showing the image is converted so that, when it is assumed that there is no strain on the PWB, a formed wiring pattern image is matched to an image formed on a corresponding divided area, and, on the basis of the raster data after conversion, the image is formed on the PWB.
