An image forming apparatus wherein a plurality of toner images having different colors from each other are successively formed on an image carrier, and the plurality of toner images formed on the image carrier are transferred to a transfer member carried on a transfer member carrier in such a condition that the plural toner images are successively overlapped with each other to thereby form an image, characterized in that the image forming apparatus comprises a pawl-shaped stripping member for stripping the transfer member from the transfer member carrier while being made in contact with a surface of the transfer member carrier at a predetermined timing; a volume electric resistance value of at least a portion of the pawl-shaped stripping member, which is made in contact with the transfer member, is selected to be greater than, or equal to 10 OMEGA .cm, and smaller than, or equal to 107 OMEGA .cm; otherwise a surface electric resistance value thereof is selected to be greater than, or equal to 10 OMEGA /cm, or smaller than, or equal to 107 OMEGA /cm.
