Provided is a transfer device capable of keeping both a transfer dust and a print at an inconspicuous level, and an image forming apparatus provided with the transfer device. As a transfer means, a means for electrostatically transferring a toner image between an intermediate transfer belt (belt member) and a photosensitive member (pressed member) pressed against the belt member is used. Further, as the intermediate transfer belt 4, a belt having a base layer and an elastic layer provided on the photoconductor 1 side with respect to the base layer was used. Further, the intermediate transfer belt 4 was pressed toward the photoconductor 1 with a pressure of 0.4 to 2.0 [N / mm 2 ]. Further, a toner having an average circularity of 0.97 or more was designated to the user as a toner used for image formation. [Selection diagram] FIG. |
