Liquid discharger and image forming apparatus having the same

A liquid discharger is provided that includes a sheet detector, a second discharging head discharging second liquid, a rotary roller, and a first discharging head discharging first liquid disposed in the above order from an upstream side in a feeding direction. The liquid discharger further includes an arrival time storing unit storing a standard arrival time for the predetermined position of a sheet to reach the first discharging head from the sheet detector when there is no second liquid attaching onto the rotary roller, a delay time storing unit storing a relationship between a attachment amount and a delay time, a delay time determining unit determining a delay time corresponding to a determined attachment amount based on the relationship, and a controller determining a moment when the first discharging head is to discharge the first liquid based on the stored standard arrival time and the determined delay time.
