Abstract:
1. An image formation apparatus comprising: an image-bearing body that rotates; a charging section that charges the image-bearing body; an exposure section that forms an electrostatic latent image on the image-bearing body that is charged; a developing section that develops the electrostatic latent image and forms a toner image; a transfer section that transfers the toner image to a transferred body; and a residue toner-charging section that is provided upstream of the charging section and downstream of the transfer section, and that charges transfer residue toner after transferring to a normal polarity, wherein the transfer residue toner that is charged to the normal polarity by the residue toner-charging section is recovered at the developing section, the residue toner-charging section includes a conductive nonwoven fabric, that contacts the image-bearing body, and the residue toner-charging section has plural layers structure including:
