PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer device that prevents a periodical change in inclination angle of flat toner with respect to a thickness direction of a medium during transfer of an image formed with the flat toner to the medium, compared with a transfer device that increases a current caused to flow in a primary transfer part when a predetermined condition is met to be equal to or more than a current caused to flow in the primary transfer part when the condition is not met.SOLUTION: A transfer device comprises: a moving body that moves; a primary transfer part that transfers an image formed with flat toner including flat metallic pigment to the moving body; a secondary transfer part that forms a nip part with the moving body and transfers the image to a medium conveyed to the nip part from the moving body; and a control part that reduces a current caused to flow in the primary transfer part when a condition is met where the width of the image is larger than a predetermined width to be smaller than a current caused to flow in the primary transfer part when the condition is not met.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 |
