Abstract

An image forming apparatus, particularly a color image forming apparatus, of the present invention distinguishes a register mark and the background of a conveying member on the basis of the level of a signal representative of the background and the peak value or the bottom value of the signal. The apparatus can therefore accurately detect deviation between images of different colors and correct it.
