Abstract:
An intermediate transfer belt includes a base layer that has ionic conductivity and is a thickest layer out of multiple layers making up the intermediate transfer belt with respect to the thickness direction of the intermediate transfer belt, and an inner layer having electronic conductivity and a lower electrical resistance than the base layer.

Claim (Index 20):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein in a state the power source applying voltage to the secondary transfer member, the electric current that is going toward the image bearing member flows through the first layer after flowing in the second layer in a circumferential direction of the intermediate transfer belt, the circumferential direction being a direction along a moving direction of the intermediate transfer belt, and, by the flow of the electric current, the toner image is transferred by the primary transfer from the image bearing member to the intermediate transfer belt.
