Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a movable image bearing member on which an image is formed with use of a liquid developer including toner and a carrier liquid in an image forming position;
• a transfer device configured to transfer the image from the image bearing member to a recording material in a transfer position;
• an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a moisture content of the recording material;
• a supply device configured to be able to supply a carrier liquid to the image bearing member on a downstream side of the image forming position and on an upstream side of the transfer position with respect to a movement direction of the image bearing member;
• and
• a control unit configured to cause the supply device to operate in such a manner that a quantity of the carrier liquid which is conveyed to the transfer position per unit area for unit time is a first amount in a case where the moisture content of the recording material indicated by the information acquired by the acquisition unit is a first moisture content, and the quantity of the carrier liquid which is conveyed to the transfer position per unit area for unit time is a second amount larger than the first amount in a case where the moisture content of the recording material indicated by the information acquired by the acquisition unit is a second moisture content which is smaller than the first moisture content.
