PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deposition or sticking of toner on the surface of an intermediate member and to obtain a high-quality image without blur or misalignment by forming a specified resin layer on the surface of the intermediate transfer member which temporarily holds a toner image of a latent image holding body and then transfers the image to a recording medium. SOLUTION: The intermediate transfer member 1 is disposed between an image holding body 2a-2d such as a photosensitive drum and a recording medium 3 such as a paper sheet. The member 1 temporarily transfers and holds a toner image formed on the surface of the latent image holding body 2a-2d on its surface and then transfers the image to a recording medium. A resin layer 4 of <30μm thickness containing a fluorocarbon resin is formed on the surface of the intermediate transfer member 1. The fluorocarbon resin in the resin layer is a dispersion type water-based fluorocarbon resin and its amt. is preferably controlled to >=60wt.%. Moreover, it is preferable that the resin layer contains carbon having >=6% oxygen content and pH>5 and at least one kind of resin selected from polyvinylacetal resin, polyester resin, etc. |
