Electrophotographic image forming device having projections on a surface of an intermediate transfer body

摘要

An intermediate transfer element has at least one or more elastic layers and a toner releasing layer provided on the surface of the elastic layer and has a surface shape including minute projections up to 60 mum and at least 20 mum high. By providing the intermediate transfer element with such projections, easy separation with respect to a poorly separable recording medium, such as thin paper is achieved, and an image free from image defects, such as white speckles.
