Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first image forming section capable of forming a brilliant developer image, a second image forming section including at least one image forming section capable of forming a black developer image, a transfer section capable of transferring the brilliant developer image and the black developer image onto a medium, and a controller that controls operation of the first image forming section and the second image forming section according to received print data. When forming a brilliant image based on the print data, the controller performs control to form the brilliant image in which relative position between the brilliant developer image and the black developer image is changed depending on a medium type.
Claims15
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first image forming section capable of forming a brilliant developer image;
- a second image forming section including at least one image forming section capable of forming a black developer image;
- a transfer section capable of transferring the brilliant developer image and the black developer image onto a medium;
- and
- a controller that controls operation of the first image forming section and the second image forming section according to received print data,
- wherein when forming a brilliant image based on the print data, the controller performs control to form the brilliant image in which relative position between the brilliant developer image and the black developer image is changed depending on a medium type.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first image forming section capable of forming a brilliant developer image;
- a second image forming section including at least one image forming section capable of forming a black developer image;
- a transfer section capable of transferring the brilliant developer image and the black developer image onto a first medium or a second medium whose surface is rougher than the first medium;
- and
- a controller that controls operation of the first image forming section and the second image forming section according to received print data,
- wherein when forming a brilliant image on the second medium based on the print data, the controller performs control to form the brilliant image in which relative position between the brilliant developer image and the black developer image is changed in comparison with that on the first medium.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first image forming section capable of forming a brilliant developer image;
- a second image forming section including at least one image forming section capable of forming a black developer image;
- a transfer section capable of transferring the brilliant developer image and the black developer image onto a first medium or a second medium thicker than the first medium;
- and
- a controller that controls operation of the first image forming section and the second image forming section according to received print data,
- wherein when forming a brilliant image on the second medium based on the print data, the controller performs control to form the brilliant image in which a relative position between the brilliant developer image and the black developer image is changed in comparison with that on the first medium.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first image forming section capable of forming a brilliant developer image;
- a second image forming section including at least one image forming section capable of forming a black developer image;
- a transfer section capable of transferring the brilliant developer image and the black developer image onto a medium;
- a controller that controls operation of the first image forming section and the second image forming section according to received print data;
- and
- an input section through which a formation position of at least one of the brilliant developer image and the black developer image on the medium can be adjusted,
- wherein when forming a brilliant image based on the print data, the controller performs control to form the brilliant image in which relative position between the brilliant developer image and the black developer image is changed depending on an input result of the input section.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first image forming section capable of forming a brilliant developer image;
- a second image forming section including at least one image forming section capable of forming a black developer image;
- a transfer section capable of transferring the brilliant developer image and the black developer image onto a medium;
- and
- a controller that controls operation of the first image forming section and the second image forming section according to received print data,
- wherein when forming a brilliant image based on the print data, the controller performs control to form the brilliant image in which at least a part of the brilliant developer image and at least a part of the black developer image are superimposed on each other.
