Intermediate transfer belt, image forming apparatus, and method for producing intermediate transfer belt

摘要

An intermediate transfer belt configured to receive a toner image formed by developing, with a toner, a latent image on an image bearing member, the intermediate transfer belt including a base layer (1) and an elastic layer (2) laid on the base layer, wherein the elastic layer includes spherical resin particles (3) and a layer formed of an elastic body (4), and has a concavo-convex pattern in a surface of the elastic layer, wherein the spherical resin particles are arranged in a plane direction in the surface of the elastic layer, and wherein the intermediate transfer belt has glossiness of 35% or higher as determined based on reflected light at 85° on the surface of the intermediate transfer belt.
