An image formation apparatus comprising:
- first and second photosensitive drums arranged in a predetermined direction;
- first and second developer rollers which are respectively provided to correspond to the first and second photosensitive drums and which cause toner to adhere to electrostatic latent images formed on the first and second photosensitive drums by means of charging for forming toner images on the respective first and second photosensitive drums;
- and
- first and second toner feed rollers which are respectively provided to correspond to the first and second developer rollers and feed toner to the first and second developer rollers,
- wherein the first toner feed roller and the second photosensitive drum are arranged such that an overlap exists between the first toner feed roller and the second photosensitive drum in the predetermined direction.
