The present invention provides an intermediate transfer belt, wherein: the
intermediate transfer belt is made from a resin material comprising a
carbon black in a dispersed state; an absolute value of a difference
between a common logarithm value of surface resistivity 10 seconds after
voltage application and a common logarithm value of the surface
resistivity 30 milliseconds after voltage application is about 0.2
((Log.OMEGA./.quadrature.) or less; and a Young's modulus thereof is
about 3,500 MPa or more. The intermediate transfer belt is preferably
formed by a process comprising: dispersing the carbon black in a
polyamide acid solution to prepare a dispersant; developing the
dispersant in a ring-like shape to form a developing layer; drying the
developing layer to make a film to mold into a belt shape to form a
molded article; and heat-treating the molded article to convert polyamide
acid into imide.
