An image forming apparatus has a developing device, in which are
integrated a plurality of developers; a photosensitive member, on which
are formed toner images by means of the plurality of developers; a
transfer member, onto which the toner images of the photosensitive member
are transferred; a control portion, which, when any one of the developers
among the plurality of developers, having moved with respect to the
photosensitive member, has not stopped in a prescribed position, causes
corrective movement of the developer to the prescribed position; and,
velocity control device, which controls the movement velocity of the
transfer member at a lower velocity than a prescribed velocity for a
prescribed time interval after the developer has not stopped at the
prescribed position.
