Patent ID: 7142800

Claim:
An intermediate transferring belt utilized to transfer a toner image formed by developing a latent image on an image bearing member by means of a toner, comprising: a matrix, and conductive fine particles; wherein the conductive fine particles are dispersed into the matrix; the surface resistivity ρs of the outer surface of the intermediate transferring belt is 1.0×10 9 ohm/square to 1.0×10 13 ohm/square; the volume resistivity ρv of the intermediate transferring belt is 1.0×10 6 ohm·cm to 1.0×10 11 ohm·cm; and the intermediate transferring belt is applied to an image forming apparatus of which the transferring electric field is controlled to 15 MV/m or less when the toner image on the image bearing member is primarily transferred to the intermediate transferring belt.
