Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming section that forms a plurality of images including an image of a low-gloss toner lower in glossiness than any other color toner and an image of a transparent toner; an intermediate transferer to which the plurality of images formed by the image forming section are transferred; and a control section that controls a position for forming the image of the transparent toner, so as to prevent the image of the transparent toner from being transferred under the image of the low-gloss toner on the intermediate transferer.

- an image forming section that forms a plurality of images comprising an image of a low-gloss toner lower in glossiness than any other color toner for forming color image and an image of a transparent toner;
- an intermediate transferee to which the plurality of images formed by the image forming section are transferred;
- and
- a control section that controls a position for forming the image of the transparent toner, so as to prevent the image of the transparent toner from being transferred under the image of the low-gloss toner on the intermediate transferer.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of image forming sections comprising an image forming section that forms an image of a low-gloss toner lower in glossiness than any other color toner for forming color image and that is disposed on a more upstream side in image formation order than an image forming section that forms an image of a transparent toner;
- and
- an intermediate transferee to which a plurality of toner images formed by the plurality of image forming sections are transferred so that the image of the transparent toner is not transferred under the image of the low-gloss toner on the intermediate transferer.
