In a contact transfer device which applies a bias to a transfer member to transfer a toner on a latent image carrier to a recording member and image forming equipment which includes such contact transfer device and forms an image at a given process speed, the characteristics and conditions of various elements concerned with the operation of the contact transfer device are stipulated. The resistance value of each member, other than the transfer member, contactable to the recording sheet during transfer is expressed as R'>/=2.4x1010Vp where Vp is the process speed. |
