<p>Disclosed is an intermediate transfer member that, for example, even when a large number, for example, 160000 sheets of prints are prepared, does not cause cracking and toner filming, can allow good transfer properties and cleaning properties to be maintained, and can realize stable preparation of toner images having a high quality free from image defects such as middle missing. In the intermediate transfer member, an elastic layer is provided on the outer periphery of a resin base, and a surface layer is provided on the elastic layer. The surface layer has a thickness of not less than 0.5 nm and not more than 1000 nm and comprises an intermediate layer and a hard layer composed mainly of a metal oxide. The film density of the hard layer is not less than 2.07 g/cm3 and not more than 2.19 g/cm3 and is larger than the film density of the intermediate layer.</p> |
