Image forming apparatus including photoconductor drum and primary transfer roller

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a photoconductor drum that carries an electrostatic latent image, which is developed into a toner image by application of toner;
• an intermediate transfer belt made to move in a direction in which the photoconductor drum rotates, in contact therewith;
• and
• a primary transfer roller opposed to the photoconductor drum via the intermediate transfer belt, and configured to rotate in a moving direction of the intermediate transfer belt, with the intermediate transfer belt pressed against the photoconductor drum, thereby transferring the toner image on the photoconductor drum, to the intermediate transfer belt from the photoconductor drum,
• wherein a part of a first contact region and a part of a second contact region are made to overlap with each other, the first contact region being a contact region between the intermediate transfer belt and the photoconductor drum, and the second contact region being a contact region between the intermediate transfer belt and the primary transfer roller.
