An image forming apparatus having an image carrier, a circularly driven intermediate transfer member and a transfer fixation device. The transfer fixation device includes a fixed pad, a pressure roll, a heating device and a corrugation suppression member. The fixed pad is brought into contact with an inner peripheral surface of the intermediate transfer member. The pressure roll is pressed against the fixed pad through the intermediate transfer member being interposed therebetween. The heating device for heating and melting the toner on the intermediate transfer member is located at an upstream side of a contact position of the fixed pad in a movement direction of the intermediate transfer member. The corrugation suppressing member provided along the inner peripheral surface of the intermediate transfer member in its circumferential direction is located between a position where the heating device is provided and a position where the fixed pad is provided.
