An inkjet image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a transfer part that transfers ink ejected from an inkjet head and carried on an intermediate transfer body to a recording medium;
- and
- a hardware processor that:
- detects a transfer rate when the ink is transferred by the transfer part;
- and
- controls a control parameter that influences how the ink spreads when being transferred to the recording medium, according to the transfer rate detected by the hardware processor;
- wherein the hardware processor detects the transfer rate from density of the ink transferred from the intermediate transfer body to the recording medium.
An image quality adjustment method in an inkjet image forming apparatus in which ink ejected from an inkjet head is carried on an intermediate transfer body and transferred to a recording medium by a transfer part, the method comprising:
- detecting a transfer rate when the ink is transferred by the transfer part;
- and
- controlling a control parameter that influences how the ink spreads when being transferred to the recording medium, according to the detected transfer rate,
