Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an image carrier that carries an image developed by a developer;
• an exposure part that has a plurality of light-emitting parts that are shifted from one another so as to face the image carrier and in each of which a plurality of light-emitting elements are aligned and forms an electrostatic latent image on the image carrier by exposing the image carrier to light;
• and
• a controller that performs control so that a plurality of inspection images having a same density are formed continuously in a second scanning direction orthogonal to a first scanning direction in which the exposure part exposes the image carrier to light at positions corresponding to substantially central positions of the plurality of light-emitting parts and at positions corresponding to end portions closer to end portions of the image carrier among end portions of two light-emitting parts disposed close to the end portions of the image carrier among the plurality of light-emitting parts in the first scanning direction.
