Abstract
There is herein disclosed an image forming apparatus comprising an image bearing member for bearing an electrostatic image, a developing device for developing the electrostatic image on the image bearing member, a temperature and humidity sensor for detecting temperature and humidity, a deciding device for deciding an image forming condition based on the detection output of the temperature and humidity detection sensor, and a correcting device for correcting the decision of the image forming condition by the deciding means in a low humid environment and at continuous image formation.
