Abstract:
A transfer member comprising a resin layer, wherein said resin layer contains a thermoplastic resin and a polyether-ester amide, and the thermoplastic resin and the polyether-ester amide are in a weight ratio of from 79:21 to 60:40, wherein(i) said transfer member is a transfer belt having a thickness from 45 to 300 &mgr;m; (ii) the maximum value of volume resistance in the peripheral direction of the transfer member is within 100 times its minimum value; (iii) the maximum value of surface resistance in the peripheral direction of the transfer member is within 100 times its minimum value; (iv) the maximum value of volume resistance in the generatrix direction of the transfer member is within 100 times its minimum value; and (v) the maximum value of surface resistance in the generatrix direction of the transfer member is within 100 times its minimum value.
