ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus (10) includes image bearing members (20) having respective peripheral surfaces and arranged sequentially so that toner images of toners having different colors are formed on the peripheral surfaces, respectively, an endless belt (30) having a surface and so rotated that the toner images are sequentially transferred to the surface or a sheet (P) conveyed on the surface, transferring members (40) for transferring the toner images to the surface of the endless belt (30) or the sheet (P). The downstream-most image bearing member (20) from which the toner image is last transferred to the surface of the endless belt (30) or the sheet (P) is arranged so that a contact pressure of the downstream-most image bearing member (20) against the endless belt (30) becomes higher than contact pressures of the other image bearing members (20) against the endless belt (30).
