PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer device and an image forming apparatus by which abnormal images resulting from banding and central blanking are reduced. SOLUTION: In the image forming apparatus in which toner images formed on a plurality of image carriers are successively superposed and transferred onto a transfer body coming into contact with the respective image carriers with predetermined pressure so as to form the superposed toner image of a plurality of colors on the transfer body, at least a part of the transfer body can separate from the image carriers. The apparatus is equipped with a pressuring force variable mechanism capable of varying transfer pressure loading applied between the transfer body and the image carrier which are not separated.
