Abstract:
An intermediate transfer belt includes a region X having a first coefficient of dynamic friction in a belt conveying direction on an outer circumferential surface side where the intermediate transfer belt and a blade abut each other, and a region Y having a second coefficient of dynamic friction in the belt conveying direction greater in value than the first coefficient of dynamic friction. Further, in the belt conveying direction, a length of the region Y is shorter than a length of the region X and longer than a length at which the blade and the intermediate transfer belt are in contact with each other.
