TRANSFER BELT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer belt that has good transferability to a thick recording medium and good cleanability, and an image forming apparatus having the transfer belt. ! SOLUTION: A transfer belt 1 includes an elastic layer 3 and a surface layer 4 laminated in this order. The transfer belt 1 (surface layer 4) has a maximum height roughness Rz of 0.05 to 0.20 μm. A ratio α of Rz to an average length RSm of roughness curve elements (α=RSm/Rz) of the transfer belt 1 (surface layer 4) is 1 to 150. ! COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT
