  • Publication number: 20180275579
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a developing member, a developer supply unit, a pulsating pump, and a correction unit. The developing member is to be supplied with a liquid developer from a supply member and is configured to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on an image carrier. The developer supply unit forms a closed space together with the supply member. The closed space stores the liquid developer. The pulsating pump is configured to feed the liquid developer to the closed space at a predetermined reference flow rate. The correction unit is configured to make a correction to achieve increase or decrease with respect to the reference flow rate according to presence or absence of image information used for forming the electrostatic latent image, in units of a predetermined processing length in a process direction intersecting a development width on the image carrier.
