Abstract

A color image forming apparatus having a plurality of developers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, a density sensor for detecting a developed control toner image, CPU and RAM. The apparatus performs a first control for image formation based on a density of a control toner image developed by a first developer, a second control for image formation based on a density of a control toner image developed by a second developer, and determining whether the second control is to be performed based on the density of the control toner image developed by the first developer.
