Image formation apparatus and method using cleaning transfer and unused frame cueing

摘要

An image formation apparatus capable of forming images of good quality over a long term on image formation target objects is provided. The image formation target object has a plurality of transfer frames, and the image formation apparatus has a control unit configured to control a formation of the image with respect to at least one of the transfer frames such that the image includes an image of a first range that is transferred and formed in a density within a first density range for which a first density is a maximum density, and an image of a second range that is transferred and formed in a second density that is higher density than the first density, after the first range.
