Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image processing unit that acquires image data, performs image processing on the image data, and generates pieces of color image data that are pieces of image data for respective colors; a plurality of toner image forming units that each form an electrostatic latent image on the basis of one of the pieces of color image data generated by the image processing unit, that each develop the electrostatic latent image thus formed, and that each form a color toner image, the electrostatic latent image having pixel rows arranged in a slow scan direction, the pixel rows each including pixels aligned in a fast scan direction; and a toner image holding member that moves while holding each color toner image formed by each of the plurality of toner image forming units, wherein the image processing unit performs, on each of the pieces of color image data, image processing in which at least one of the pixel rows is added to or deleted from a position, in the slow scan direction, of the electrostatic latent image to be formed on the basis of each of the pieces of color image data, the number of the pixel rows added or deleted corresponding to the amount of change in a moving velocity of the toner image holding member when each color toner image formed at the position is held by the toner image holding member.
