Abstract:
An image forming apparatus for forming a toner image on a recording material, comprising:a first light source emitting a beam corresponding to image information; a first photosensitive member receiving the beam emitted from said first light source; a first developing means developing a latent image formed on said first photosensitive member with a first toner; a second light source emitting a beam corresponding to image information; a second photosensitive member receiving the beam emitted from said second light source; and a second developing means for developing a latent image formed on said second photosensitive member with a second toner, wherein a coloring agent contained in the first toner and a coloring agent contained in the second toner are substantially of the same hue, with the content of the coloring agent contained in the second toner being smaller than the content of the coloring agent contained in the first toner, and wherein an oscillation wavelength of at least said first light source ranges from 370 to 500 nm.
