Abstract:
1. A transfer device comprising: a transfer portion that transfers a toner image formed with a toner containing flat pigment particles to a recording medium; a DC voltage applying portion that applies a DC voltage to the transfer portion; an AC voltage applying portion that applies an AC voltage to the transfer portion; and a switching portion that switches the DC voltage applying portion and the AC voltage applying portion between a superimpose mode, in which both the DC voltage applying portion and the AC voltage applying portion are operated, and a direct-current mode, in which the DC voltage applying portion is operated and the AC voltage applying portion is not operated, when the toner image formed with the toner containing the flat pigment particles is transferred to the recycling medium in the transfer portion, the superimpose mode being applied when the flat pigment particles are transferred, and the direct-current mode being applied when the flat pigment particles are not applied.
