IMAGE TRANSFERRING METHOD USING AN INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BODY AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS FOR PRACTICING THE SAME

摘要

In the image forming apparatus, the potential caught on the back side of the transfer member is selected to be zero or selected to have the same polarity as the charge of the image carrier at least part of the gripping point formed for image transfer. In this state, an image transfer condition that can minimize toner scattering during image transfer can be set to prevent change of storage of the transfer member over time, and thus an image with minimum toner scattering can be obtained.
