Patent ID: 10935908

Abstract:
A transfer unit includes an intermediate transfer belt including a resin and in which in a spatial distribution of conductive carbon particles that are present in an evaluation region of 6.3 μm×4.2 μm on an outer peripheral surface, an integrated value of a statistic L(r) in an interparticle distance r of 0.05 μm or more and 0.30 μm or less is 0 or more and 0.1 or less; and a cleaning component including a cleaning blade which contacts the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate transfer belt and in which a value of M100/Re is 0.25 or more and a value of Re is 25 or more where M100 represents a 100% modulus (MPa) of a contact portion of the cleaning blade contacts the intermediate transfer belt, and Re represents a rebound resilience coefficient (%) of the contact portion: L(r):=√{square root over (K(r)/π)}−r  (1)
