an image forming target to be transported along one direction;
a plurality of image formers arranged away from each other along the one direction and configured to form images on the image forming target; and
an image forming target winding motion correcting roller rotatably in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the image forming target and positioned on an upstream side of | the plurality of image formers in the one direction of the image forming target, wherein
a distance between the plurality of image formers is an integral multiple of an outer peripheral length of the image forming target winding motion correcting roller,
a first distance between a first image former of the plurality of image formers and a second image former of the plurality of image formers is different from a second distance between the second image former and a third image former of the plurality of image formers, and
the first image former, the second image former, and the third image former are arranged in order along the one direction and the second distance is shorter than the first distance.
