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 each 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.
