  • Publication number: 20200249594
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image holder, an intermediate transfer body, a transfer member, a pressing force changer, and a hardware processor. The intermediate transfer body includes a base layer and a coating layer provided on the base layer. The image forming apparatus transfers a toner image formed on the image holder to a sheet via the intermediate transfer body, thereby forming an image on the sheet. The transfer member is provided so as to face the image holder with the intermediate transfer body in between and forms a nip part with the image holder. The pressing force changer changes pressing force of the transfer member against the image holder. The hardware processor controls, with the pressing force changer, the pressing force of the transfer member against the image holder based on information on a surface profile of the sheet on which the image is to be formed.

  • Patent number: 10474083
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a causal member identifying section, and a judgement section. The causal member identifying section identifies the causal member as a cause of the periodic unevenness based on the period of the periodic unevenness which has been detected by the periodic unevenness detector. The judgement section judges whether or not the periodic unevenness is transient based on the information of the causal member identified by the causal member identifying section, the information of at least one of a resting time in which the image forming apparatus has been left inoperative, an operating time of the causal member, and the image forming condition for image formation, and the information of a temperature and a humidity inside the image forming apparatus.
