Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a printing section, a UV irradiation section, and a UV control section. The printing section is configured to be capable of forming an image by applying ink to a printing base material. The UV irradiation section irradiates the printing base material with ultraviolet rays before the application of the ink to the printing base material. The UV control section controls a period of time for which the ultraviolet rays are irradiated, on the basis of an arithmetic average roughness of a face of the printing base material, where the ink is applied to the face of the printing base material.
