An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for carrying an electrostatic image; a developing device for developing the electrostatic image with a plurality of toners having the same hue and having different densities; a toner image formation device for forming on a recording material a toner image constituted by the toner having the same hue and different densities; and a fixing device for fixing the toner image on the recording material, wherein a total of amounts per unit area of the toners which have the same hue and different densities and which constitute a part of the toner image, is substantially the same as a total of amounts per unit area of the toners which have the same hue and different densities and which constitute another part of the toner image having a different density.
