<p>PURPOSE:To improve cleaning performance by constituting an intermediate transfer body in the way that the transfer layer of the intermediate transfer body is a porous polytetrafluoroethylene which is impregnated with silicone rubber and is hardened. CONSTITUTION:An electrostatic latent image pattern 1 is formed in a photosensitive body 2 by means of an electrostatic latent image forming part 1. A photo-conductive layer is loaded on th4 surface of the photosensitive body 2. The photosensitive body 2 is rotated by a driving source in an arrow A direction. The electrostatic latent image pattern on the surface of the photosensitive body 2 arrives at a developing part 3, and is developed by tone. The formed toner image is pressed and transferred on the intermediate transfer body 4 which press-contacts to the photosensitive body 2. The component of the intermediate transfer body 4 is a porous polytetrafluoroethylene which is impregnated with silicone rubber, hardened, and bonded to such a film substrate as metal and so on. The intermediate transfer body 4 press-contacts to the photosensitive body 2 by means of a pressing roll 9a, and moves. The toner image which is transferred on the intermediate transfer body 4 is melted by the heat of a pressurizing body 5 within which a lamp heater is housed. The toner image is transferred and fixed on a transfer sheet 10.</p> |
