An image forming apparatus operable in a duplex print mode includes an image
carrier
and an image transferring device including a first and a second intermediate image
transfer body whose surfaces are movable in contact with each other while forming
a nip therebetween. Toner images are respectively transferred to opposite surfaces
of a sheet using two pairs of conductive rollers that face each other via the first
and second intermediate image transfer bodies at a nip. Two of the conductive rollers
associated with the second intermediate image transfer body are transfer rollers
respectively applied with one and the other of biases of opposite polarities.
