ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus has: an intermediate transfer body which carries an image; a transfer mechanism which transfers the image carried on the intermediate transfer body, onto a transfer surface of a recording medium fixed to a surface of a rotating body; and a fixing mechanism which is disposed so as to oppose the surface of the rotating body to a downstream side of the transfer mechanism in terms of a direction of rotation of the rotating body, and which fixes the image that has been transferred to the transfer surface of the recording medium, onto the recording medium.
