ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus, three or more (four in this case) cylindrical photosensitive members 1 to 4 on which latent images are formed and developed through use of toner to thereby produce toner images, are arranged so as to share a tangential line in common, and a cylindrical intermediate transfer member 51 is provided. Alternatively, a first unit containing one or more image carriers is positioned next to a first transfer member and a second unit containing one or more image carriers is positioned next to a second transfer member such that there is reflectional symmetry between the first and second units and the transfer members.
