  • Image Forming Apparatus
    Publication number: 20240118649
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an image carrier; a solid lubricant; a lubricant application member that scrapes off the solid lubricant and applies the scraped solid lubricant to a surface of the image carrier; a colorimeter that performs colorimetry of a colorimetric surface of the solid lubricant; and a hardware processor that sets a lubricant application condition such that a predetermined amount of lubricant is applied on the basis of a colorimetric result obtained by the colorimeter.
