An image forming apparatus comprising: an image bearing member configured to bear a toner image; a movable intermediate transfer member in contact with the image bearing member , the toner image born by the image bearing member being primarily transferred to the intermediate transfer member ; and a contact member disposed downstream of a secondary transfer portion (N2) in the movement direction of the intermediate transfer member , the toner image primarily transferred to the intermediate transfer member being secondarily transferred from the intermediate transfer member to a transfer medium (P) in the secondary transfer portion (N2), the contact member forming a contact portion in contact with the intermediate transfer member and collecting residual toner remaining on the intermediate transfer member after the toner image passes through the secondary transfer portion (N2), wherein the intermediate transfer member has a first region (X) and a second region (Y) that differs from the first region (X) arranged in the movement direction, wherein the first region (X) has a plurality of grooves arranged in a width direction perpendicular to the movement direction, and the grooves extend in the movement direction, wherein the second region (Y) has a dynamic friction coefficient in the movement direction, and the dynamic friction coefficient is less than a dynamic friction coefficient of the first region (X) in the movement direction, and wherein a length of the second region (Y) in the movement direction is less than a length of the first region (X) in the movement direction and is greater than a length of the contact portion in the movement direction. an image bearing member configured to bear a toner image; a movable intermediate transfer member in contact with the image bearing member , the toner image born by the image bearing member being primarily transferred to the intermediate transfer member ; and a contact member disposed downstream of a secondary transfer portion (N2) in the movement direction of the intermediate transfer member , the toner image primarily transferred to the intermediate transfer member being secondarily transferred from the intermediate transfer member to a transfer medium (P) in the secondary transfer portion (N2), the contact member forming a contact portion in contact with the intermediate transfer member and collecting residual toner remaining on the intermediate transfer member after the toner image passes through the secondary transfer portion (N2), wherein the intermediate transfer member has a first region (X) and a second region (Y) that differs from the first region (X) arranged in the movement direction, wherein the first region (X) has a plurality of grooves arranged in a width direction perpendicular to the movement direction, and the grooves extend in the movement direction, wherein the second region (Y) has a dynamic friction coefficient in the movement direction, and the dynamic friction coefficient is less than a dynamic friction coefficient of the first region (X) in the movement direction, and wherein a length of the second region (Y) in the movement direction is less than a length of the first region (X) in the movement direction and is greater than a length of the contact portion in the movement direction. <EOS>
