PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize a transfer omission phenomenon in a primary transfer section. SOLUTION: The color image forming apparatus includes: image carriers for forming toner images according to image information and holding them thereon; an intermediate transfer body disposed in contact with the image carriers; and primary transfer means for transferring the toner images on the image carriers to the intermediate transfer body. The color image forming apparatus has a linear velocity difference between each image carrier and the intermediate transfer body. In the image forming apparatus, the linear velocity difference between the intermediate transfer body and the black image carrier and the linear velocity difference between the intermediate transfer body and the color image carrier located furthest upstream in the rotating direction of the intermediate transfer body are smaller than the linear velocity difference between the intermediate transfer body and each of the other color image carriers.
