Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of forming a high-quality image for a long time with a small load on a cleaning blade of an image forming body. An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of toner image forming units, a primary transfer mechanism, a secondary transfer mechanism, and a fixing device. The toner image forming unit includes a lubricant on a surface of an image forming body. lubricant applying means for applying a and an image forming apparatus comprising a image forming member cleaning means, the volume average particle diameter of the black toner when r b, the volume average particle diameter of the color toner and r c, a r b> r c +1, and a r c = 3 to 7, The amount of the lubricant applied to the outer peripheral surface of the image forming body related to the black toner is set to be larger than the amount of the lubricant applied to the outer peripheral surface of the image forming body related to the color toner.
