摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that obtains high image quality free of image omission and image density variation and ensures a satisfactory image even in case of transport for a long period of time or an environmental change in a short period of time, and to provide an image forming method, and a belt-like transfer member and a cartridge which are used for the image forming apparatus. PSOLUTION: In the electrophotographic image forming apparatus in which a latent image formed on a latent image carrier is developed with developer and the obtained image is transferred to a transfer material using the belt-like transfer member, the belt-like transfer member contains at least a thermoplastic resin and a resistance control agent, water soluble content thereof is 2.5 mass% or less, and volume resistivity is 1×10SP6/SPΩ.cm to 8×10SP13/SPΩ.cm. The image forming method, and the belt-like transfer member and cartridge which are used for the image forming device are also provided. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
