A liquid type image forming apparatus includes a latent image carrier for carrying a latent image, a developing device for developing the latent image on the latent image carrier into a visualized image by a liquid developer containing a toner in a carrier liquid, and a transfer device for electrostatically transferring the visualized image on a recording body after the visualized image on the latent image carrier is intermediately transferred onto an intermediate transfer body. A fluorine compound is coated on at least a surface of the intermediate transfer body. The liquid type image forming apparatus is provided with a heating device for heating the intermediate transfer body.
