PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of stabilizing primary transfer by keeping the potential of an intermediate transfer body proper. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus of the present invention has a transfer device which transfers a toner image, developed on a developer carrier coated with a liquid developer formed as a thin layer on an image carrier where an electrostatic latent image is formed, by using a liquid developer and formed on the image carrier, to an intermediate transfer body, and further transfers it to a recording body. Then the image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a 1st bias application member which abuts against the reverse surface of the intermediate transfer body to apply a bias and a 2nd bias application member which abuts against the top surface to a width larger than the lengthwise width of the intermediate transfer body to apply a bias, the 2nd bias application member is arranged abutting against the top surface of the intermediate body during primary transfer from downstream from secondary transfer of the intermediate transfer body, and the 1st bias application member and 2nd bias application member are loaded with voltages equal in potential.
