Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plural image forming units each having a plural image forming sections, and an intermediate transfer body on which toner images formed by the plural image forming sections are primarily transferred; a plural secondary transfer units that are provided corresponding to the plural the image forming units, and secondarily transfer the toner images of the intermediate transfer body to a recording medium; and a processor configured to: in response to an instruction for adjusting misalignment of the toner images, execute a mode in which a first chart for checking amounts of misalignment between a toner image formed by a reference image forming section and the toner images formed by another image forming section, for each image forming unit, and a second chart for checking amounts of misalignment between toner images formed by the reference image forming sections of the plural image forming units are secondarily transferred to the recording medium and output, and an input of a fi

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units including plural image forming sections and an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image formed on the plural image forming sections is primarily transferred, and a processor, in which wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where, during image formation using any of the image forming units among the image forming units, in a case where a consumable of any of the image forming sections of the image forming unit is insufficient, an image forming section of an identical color to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient is present in another image forming unit, and a storage medium for storing management information for managing a consumable unit is not provided in the consumable unit attached to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient, ask a user whether or not to exchange the consumable unit attached to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient and a consum

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units including plural image forming sections and an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image formed on the plural image forming sections is primarily transferred, and a processor, in which the processor is configured to, in a case where a printing instruction is received in a state in which an image forming section having a combination of identical colors is set for each of the plural image forming units, execute the printing instruction by using an image forming unit that is in a state in which image formation is able to be executed among the plural image forming units.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plural image forming units each having a plural image forming sections, and an intermediate transfer body on which toner images formed by the plural image forming sections are primarily transferred, a plural secondary transfer units that are provided corresponding to the plural image forming units, and secondarily transfer the toner images of the intermediate transfer body to a recording medium, and a processor, in which each image forming unit has the image forming section of the same color, and the processor is configured to: in response to an instruction to output a color chart of the same color, execute a mode in which the color chart of the toner image having a density of intermediate gradation, formed by the image forming section of the same color for each image forming unit, is secondarily transferred to the recording medium and output.

Abstract: A process for preparing calcium silicate articles having a bulk density of 0.3 to 0.9 g/cm.sup.3 including the steps of mixing a major portion of calcium silicate and minor portions of anhydrous calcium aluminosilicate or its analogue, a reinforcing fiber and a polymer binder in water to give an aqueous slurry, molding the slurry into a desired for, and drying the molded slurry at 100.degree.-180.degree. C.

Abstract: A hydrated calcium silicate slurry composition is made up of 100 parts by weight of hydrated calcium silicate, 5 to 40 parts by weight of a powdered resin and water and molded articles are produced therefrom. In addition to the above components, 1 to 30 parts by weight of a reinforcing fiber and/or 20 to 35 parts by weight (as solids) of a latex or emulsion may be used. When the latex or emulsion is used, the powdered resin is reduced to an amount of 5 to 20 parts by weight. Since the molded calcium silicate articles have a superior workability and a good thermal dimensional stability, they are very useful especially in the preparation of molds or models where high levels of processing precision and thermal stability are required.

Abstract: Disclosed is a filler-containing stretched film composed of a resin composition comprising:(a) 20 to 80 parts by weight of a linear ethylene copolymer containing 1 to 20% by weight of an .alpha.-olefin or diolefin comonomer(s) with 6 or more carbon atoms, having a density of 0.910 to 0.945 g/cm.sup.3 and a melt flow rate of 0.01 to 20 g/10 min, and an extracted amount with boiling n-hexane of 20% by weight or less,(b) 80 to 20 parts by weight of a particulate inorganic filler having an average particle size of 10 .mu.m or less and a bulk density of 0.1 to 0.7 g/ml and(c) 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic acid ester having 9 to 40 carbon atoms based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of Component (a) and Component (b),which film has tear strength MD measured according to ASTM D1922-61T of 10 g or more.
