An image forming apparatus including an image carrier; a transfer member, which is provided in a face-to-face relation to the image carrier and to which a transfer bias is applied; a first sensor that measures a resistance value of a section between the image carrier and the transfer member; and transfer bias controlling means. The transfer bias controlling means controls the transfer bias, which is applied to the transfer member based on a first resistance value measured by the first sensor before a recording sheet enters a nip between the image carrier and the transfer member and also based on a second resistance value measured by the first sensor when the recording sheet has entered the nip between the image carrier and the transfer member. |
