An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for carrying a toner image; a rotatable transfer member constituting a transfer portion for transferring the toner image from the image bearing member onto a recording material; a voltage source for applying a voltage to the transfer member; an executing portion for executing an image forming mode for continuously forming an image on a plurality of recording materials having different widths measured in a direction of a rotational axis of the transfer member; an interval adjustment portion for adjusting, during execution of the image forming mode, an interval between adjacent recording materials to a first interval when the width of the recording material is larger than the width of the previous recording material, and for adjusting, during execution of the image forming mode, the interval between adjacent recording materials to a second interval when the width of the recording material is smaller than the width of the previous recording material, wherein the first interval is larger than the second interval; and a voltage controller for applying, to the transfer member, a voltage having a polarity which is the same as a polarity of the voltage when the tone images are transferred at the second interval.
