Disclosed is an intermediate transfer body having higher transferability, cleanability and durability. Also disclosed are a method for manufacturing such an intermediate transfer body without requiring a large facility such as a vacuum apparatus, and an image-forming device comprising such an intermediate transfer body. Specifically disclosed is an intermediate transfer body (170) comprising a front layer (176), which is compose of at least one or more layers, on the surface of a base (175). This intermediate transfer body (170) is characterized in that the universal hardness of the base (175) is not less than 50 N/mm 2 but not more than 190 N/mm 2 , and the hardness of the surface of the front layer (176) as measured by nanoindentation is not less than 3 GPa but not more than 11 GPa. |
