Abstract:
An image forming apparatus has a control portion configured to control a charging bias to be applied to a charging member and a first exposure amount with respect to humidity inside an image forming apparatus and a thickness of a photosensitive layer of a photoreceptor, and the control portion controls the charging bias and the first exposure amount so that a potential difference between a non-image forming portion and the charging member increases as the humidity decreases, and decreases as the humidity increases.
