To provide an image forming apparatus including a first image bearing
member, first toner image forming means which forms a first toner image
on the first image bearing member, an intermediate transfer member in
which a circumferential face is formed, the circumferential face rotates
in a predetermined direction by using the center of the circumferential
face as a rotating center and the thickness is periodically changed at a
predetermined interval in the predetermined rotating direction, a first
primary transfer region in which the first toner image on the first image
bearing member is transferred to the intermediate transfer member, a
second image bearing member and a second primary transfer region in which
the toner image on the second image bearing member is transferred to the
intermediate transfer member to which the first toner image is
transferred, in which the distance between the central position of the
first primary transfer region and the central position of the second
primary transfer region in the rotating direction of the intermediate
transfer member is approximately integer times of the predetermined
interval. Thereby, it is possible to restrain misregistration from
occurring.
