1-11. (canceled)
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- image forming means for forming a toner image on a recording material using transparent toner;
- heating means for heating a toner image formed on a first recording material by said image forming means;
- detection means for detecting information about a glossiness of the toner image formed on the first recording material after the toner image formed on the first recording material is heated by said heating means;
- and
- correction means for correcting an image forming condition of said image forming means, at a time when a toner image is formed on a second recording material after a toner image is formed on the first recording material, on the basis of a detection result of said detection means.
