An image forming apparatus including: a first and a second photosensitive members, an endless transfer belt, a transfer unit configured form a transfer nip with the endless transfer belt, a storage unit configured to store first and second delay data each indicating an amount of delay of a second exposure start timing of the second photosensitive member with respect to a first exposure start timing of the first photosensitive member, a control unit configured to control the second exposure start timing based on the first delay data until a first recording medium enters the transfer nip and control the second exposure start timing based on the second delay data after the first recording medium enters the transfer nip.

In one example, a liquid electro photographic printing apparatus includes: multiple base color ink containers each to contain a different base color ink; multiple base color ink dispersion units each connected to a corresponding base color ink container to contain a diluted base color ink and to a corresponding base color binary ink developer unit; and a custom color ink container connected to each of the base color ink containers or to each of the base color ink dispersion units, to contain and mix a custom color ink, and connected to a custom color ink binary developer unit. The printing apparatus is configured to print any of the custom and base color inks using the custom color ink binary developer unit and the base color binary ink developer units.

A printing apparatus comprising a plurality of base color ink containers, each for containing a different base color ink, and a custom color ink container for containing a custom color ink, the printing apparatus being configured to print any of the custom color ink and the different base color inks, from the custom color ink container and the plurality of base color ink containers, respectively, to a print medium. The printing apparatus is configured to mix a custom color ink for the custom color ink container using a combination of any of the base color inks.

An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable rotary including a developing roller and a storage frame including a storage portion to store toner, a body frame with an opening, a toner cartridge which is attachable to and detachable from the rotary through the opening, which is movable to an attached position and a retracted position, a moving device to move the toner cartridge from the attached position to the retracted position, and an opening/closing member provided to be movable between a closed position and an open position. The opening/closing member moves from the closed position to the open position in an interconnected manner with movement of the toner cartridge from the attached position to the retracted position by the moving device.

An image forming apparatus includes a first toner cartridge to store first toner and is movable to a first attached position and a first retracted position with respect to a storage frame, and a second toner cartridge to store second toner and is movable to a second attached position and a second retracted position with respect to a second storage frame. A movable first support member supports the first toner cartridge, and a movable second support member supports the second toner cartridge. In a case where a length by which the first toner cartridge at the first retracted position projects from an opening in a body frame is a first length and a length by which the second toner cartridge at the second retracted position projects from the opening is a second length, the first length is larger than the second length.
