Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a correction amount calculator, a fluidity measuring unit, and an external additive amount calculator. The correction amount calculator calculates a correction amount of fluidity to correct the fluidity of a two-component developer. The fluidity measuring unit measures the fluidity of the two-component developer. The external additive amount calculator corrects the measured fluidity on the basis of the correction amount of fluidity, calculates the amount of an external additive of a toner from the corrected fluidity of the two-component developer, and determines the state of the external additive.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising\n a deterioration-preventing controller that performs control so as to eliminate or minimize deterioration in print quality, where the control is performed based on the state of the external additive determined by the external additive amount calculator and is performed in accordance with the printing environment and printing condition.
