Abstract

See full text

An image forming apparatus includes a platen roller, an ink ribbon, a transfer target, a thermal head, and a controller. When continuous n-spot transfer regions set on the transfer target are named as first to n-th (n is an integer of 2 or more) transfer regions in a reverse direction to an alignment sequence of first to n-th ink layers, the controller executes transfer operations of transferring inks of first to k-th (1≦k≦n) ink layers to the n-spot transfer regions by using first to n-th ink sets from k=1 to k=n. By the transfer operations, a color image to which n-color inks are transferred is formed on the first transfer region.
