<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which can achieve downsizing and maintain sufficient conveyance stability and image quality of sheets. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image carrier rollers 104Y, 104M, 104C and 104K placed on an inner peripheral side of an annuler conveying path 132 so as to face the annular conveying path 132 and so as to be juxtaposed in a sheet conveying direction along the annular conveying path 132. The apparatus includes opposed rollers 105Y, 105M, 105C and 105K on the outer circumferential side of the annular conveying path 132. The respective image carrier rollers and the opposed rollers which are in pressure contact therewith constitute pairs of transfer rollers, respectively. The apparatus includes image forming sections for forming intrinsic color images on surfaces of the respective image carrier rollers. The sheet is introduced to the annular conveying path 132 and is conveyed along the sheet conveying direction sequentially through nip sections of the pairs of transfer rollers, while the images formed on the surfaces of the respective image carrier rollers by the image forming sections are sequentially transferred onto the sheet. The sheet with the images transferred thereon is released from the annular conveying path 132. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
