Abstract
The image forming apparatus comprises: an ink ejection head which deposits radiation-curable ink onto a recording medium; a radiation curing device which irradiates the deposited radiation-curable ink on the recording medium with radiation to cure the deposited radiation-curable ink; and a correction device which performs correction processing of a volume of the radiation-curable ink to be deposited on the recording medium according to a variation in optical density change of a coloring material in the radiation-curable ink produced by difference in irradiation conditions of the radiation.
