Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image forming unit that forms an image represented by image data as a toner image; a density-corrected image forming unit that forms a density corrected image; a measurement unit that measures the density of the density corrected image formed by the density-corrected image forming unit; an image correction unit that performs image correction on the basis of the density corrected image such that a non-halftone image represented by data included in image data is formed as a halftone image whose halftone percentage is less than 100%, the density of the density corrected image having been measured by the measurement unit; and a fixing unit that, in a case where image correction is performed for image data by the image correction unit, fixes a toner image on a recording medium with at least one of an increased fixing temperature, an increased fixing time period, and an increased fixing pressure, the toner image being based on the image data for which image correction has been performed.
