An image forming apparatus including: an outputted image density control
portion that forms a patch image and determines an outputted image
density control condition based on a comparison result of the density of
the patch image with a preliminarily set target value; a pixel count
portion capable of counting the amount of image pixel at the time of
image formation; a pixel count value accumulating memory portion that
accumulates and stores the pixel count value; a toner supply portion; a
toner supply amount measuring portion capable of measuring the amount of
toner supplied to the developing device; a toner supply amount
accumulating memory portion that accumulates and stores the toner supply
amount; and a target value correcting portion that corrects the target
value of the density of the patch image from the relation between a pixel
count accumulating value and a toner supply amount accumulation value, is
provided.
