An image forming apparatus includes: a plurality of rollers including a
drive roller and a follow roller; an endless belt made of an insulation
material and looped around the plurality of rollers so that a bridging
portion is formed between adjacent rollers and both ends of the bridging
portion are supported on the adjacent rollers; a photosensitive drum
positioned outside of and facing the outer peripheral surface of the
bridging portion; and a transfer roller positioned opposite of the
photosensitive drum with the bridging portion interposed therebetween.
The inner peripheral surface of the belt is made of a material which has
greater tendency to be charged in a polarity that is the same as
developer in triboelectric series than the outer peripheral surface of
the follow roller as an upstream-side roller.
