Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a toner-image holding unit that holds an unfixed toner image and transports the unfixed toner image to a transfer position;
• a sheet-guide unit that is brought into contact with a first surface of a sheet that is transported to the sheet-guide unit, the first surface facing the toner-image holding unit, and guides the sheet to the transfer position;
• and
• a transfer unit that nips the sheet, which is guided to the transfer unit by the sheet-guide unit, between the transfer unit and the toner-image holding unit at the transfer position and that transfers the unfixed toner image transported by the toner-image holding unit onto the sheet,
• wherein the sheet-guide unit includes a projecting portion including
• a pair of end guide portions that project further toward the transfer position than a reference end edge does, the reference end edge facing the transfer position, and that are arranged on opposite sides of a central guide portion in a width direction that crosses a sheet-transport direction and
• the central guide portion that is disposed at the center position between the pair of end guide portions in the width direction and that projects toward the transfer position while an amount of projection of the central guide portion decreases from an apex of the central guide portion, which is closer to the transfer position than the end edge is, toward opposite ends of the central guide portion in the width direction.
