Abstract:
An object of the invention is to accurately grasp the fluidity of a developer and give proper feedback to an image forming process. An image forming device has a developing unit developing a latent image by transferring a developer to an image carrier, a fluidity measuring unit measuring fluidity of the developer, a correction amount computing unit computing a fluidity correction amount for correcting the fluidity of the developer measured by the fluidity measuring unit, and a process control unit changing a process condition of an image forming process. The process control unit selects, on the basis of the fluidity of the developer corrected based on the fluidity correction amount, an image forming process of changing a process condition from a plurality of image forming processes.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming device according to  claim 5 , wherein the process control unit selects the process condition to be changed on the basis of a correlation between predetermined fluidity of the developer and a transfer rate of the developer to the image carrier.
