Multi-pass image forming apparatus and image forming method using the same for providing plural print modes with different numbers of passes depending on desired print speed and image quality

Provided are a multi-pass image forming apparatus and an image forming method using the same. The multi-pass image forming apparatus includes a plurality of developers for forming a plurality of electrostatic latent images using toners having different polarities and colors in one development process and for forming a multi-color image in at least two development processes; an exposure unit for forming the plurality of the electrostatic latent images on a photosensitive medium; and an intermediate transferring unit for having a toner images transferred thereon from the photosensitive medium that overlap to form the multi-color image, wherein the toner image may overlap another toner image on the intermediate transferring unit.
