PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer blade that obtains stable elastic pressing force, has excellent balance between hardness and wear, and is supplied at a relatively low cost without causing a large cost increase. SOLUTION: The transfer blade transfers a toner image carried on the surface of a photoreceptor to a transfer material by applying charges of a predetermined level to a transfer material in contact with the transfer material in the transfer mechanism of an electrophotographic apparatus. The contact part of the transfer blade with at least the transfer material is formed of an elastic macromolecular foam body. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
