Abstract

In an image forming apparatus which forms an image on an image carrier, a predetermined density pattern is segmented into a plurality of blocks to generate the plurality of blocks. The density patterns of the plurality of generated blocks are controlled to be formed on the image carrier so as not to superpose the density patterns in two successive turns of the image carrier.
