ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus according to the present invention, the toner images of the plural colors on the intermediate transfer member are electrostatically transferred to a transfer material, and the image forming charges the toner image of a color, among the toner images of the plural colors formed on the intermediate transfer member, different from the last color in such a manner that the charge amount per unit weight of the toner image of the different color becomes 0.5 to 1.5 times of the charge amount per unit weight of the toner image of the last color, after the formation of the toner image of the last color on the intermediate transfer member and prior to the transfer of the toner images of the plural colors on the intermediate transfer member to the transfer material.
