An image forming apparatus includes a toner carrying member for carrying a toner; an image carrying member, contacting the toner on the toner carrying member, on which a toner image is to be formed with the toner; and an electrode portion provided at an opposing position in which the electrode portion opposes the toner carrying member via the image carrying member interposed therebetween. The toner image is formed on the image carrying member by changing a value of a voltage, on the basis of image information, applied to the electrode portion. The toner carried on the toner carrying member and the image carrying member contact each other in a toner contact area. The toner is moved between the toner carrying member and the image carrying member in a toner movement area by changing the value of the voltage applied to the electrode portion. The toner movement area is present downstream of the toner contact area with respect to a movement direction of the image carrying member. |
