Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an intermediate transfer belt, a density sensor, a cleaning device and a density correction unit. The intermediate transfer belt carries a calibration toner image. The density sensor detects a density of the calibration toner image that passes at a predetermined position. The cleaning device contacts to a part of the intermediate transfer belt in a primary scanning direction, and removes from the intermediate transfer belt the calibration toner image that passed at the predetermined position. The density correction unit performs density correction of a printing toner image in the primary scanning direction. Further, the density correction unit changes a strength of the density correction for a contact range to which the cleaning device contacts on the intermediate transfer belt, the strength changed in accordance with the number of times of a calibration process.

Claim (Index 11):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the second cleaning device contacts to the residual range of the primary scanning direction in a range of a secondary scanning direction to which the first cleaning device contacts on the intermediate transfer belt.
