An image transferring device of the present invention includes a first and a
second
intermediate image transfer body whose surfaces endlessly move while forming a
nip in contact with ech other. When a sheet nipped by the nip is being conveyed
toward a side downstream of the nip in the direction in which the above surfaces
move, a first toner image transferred from an image carrier to the second intermediate
image transfer body via the first intermediate image transfer body beforehand is
transferred to one side of the sheet. At the same time, a second toner image transferred
from the image carrier to the first image transfer body beforehand is transferred
to the other side of the sheet. One of the two intermediate image transfer bodies
is less deformable than the other intermediate image transfer body in the direction
of thickness.
