Inkjet image forming apparatus

An inkjet image forming apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of ink heads that are aligned along a direction perpendicular to a feed direction of print sheet and configured to inject ink droplets with a plurality of density levels;
• a drive voltage controller configured to adjust density among the plurality of ink heads by controlling each drive voltage of the plurality of ink heads to change amounts of ink droplets injected from nozzles of the plurality of ink heads;
• a halftone processing controller configured to adjust density by changing the number of ink droplets ejected from each nozzle of the plurality of ink heads by a halftone processing;
• and
• a density adjustment controller configured to print a density adjustment pattern by injecting ink droplets from the nozzles of the plurality of ink heads with a single dot pitch to form different printed areas with respect to each of the plurality of density levels and with respect to each of the plurality of inkjet heads, and then scan the density adjustment pattern to calculate an adjustment value for reducing a density difference among the plurality of ink heads with respect to each of the plurality of density levels, wherein
• the density adjustment controller adjusts density of a lowest density level among the plurality of density levels so that the drive voltage controller controls each drive voltage of the plurality of ink heads based on the adjustment value of the lowest density level, and adjusts density of each density level other than the lowest density level so that the halftone processing controller changes the number of ink droplets injected from each nozzle of the plurality of ink heads by the halftone processing based on the adjustment value of each density level other than the lowest density level and an adjustment result by the drive voltage controller.
