PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent decrease in the transfer rate of a visible image on an intermediate transfer body to a material to be transferred caused by continuous printing, by forming a transfer layer of the intermediate transfer body from a silicone rubber containing a silicone oil. SOLUTION: An electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image carrier body is developed with a liquid toner, the visualized image by development is transferred to an intermediate transfer body, and then the visualized image on the intermediate transfer body is again transferred to a transfer material. In this method, the transfer layer of the intermediate transfer body consists of a silicone rubber containing a silicone oil. The transfer layer is normally formed on a conductive layer. The amt. of the silicone oil in the silicone rubber is preferably 3 to 30 pts.wt. to 100 pts.wt. silicone rubber. As for the conductive layer, a layer having <=10<8>Ω.cm volume resistivity is preferable. Thereby, the intermediate transfer body has excellent transfer property and excellent durability, so that high quality image can be obtd. with good reproducibility by the image forming method which uses an intermediate transfer body.
