Abstract

An electrophotographic apparatus for forming color images has a photosensitive member, a charging device for applying a primary charge, an imaging device for selectively exposing the photosensitive member to image light of different color components and a device for uniformly exposing the photosensitive member to near infrared light substantially simultaneously with the image exposure. Different color images are sequentially formed, developed and transferred to a transfer material to form a resultant color image with good color balance.
