Image transfer medium carrier member and image forming apparatus incorporating the same

Abstract

An image transfer medium carrier member, for carrying an image transfer medium such as a recording paper sheet, has a substrate and a surface layer. The surface layer containing a polyester resin and a cured resin. An image forming apparatus comprises: an electrophotographic photosensitive member; a charging device for electrostatically charging the electrophotographic photosensitive member; an image exposure device for exposing the electrophotographic photosensitive member to an image light so as to form an electrostatic latent image in the electrophotographic photosensitive member; a developing device for developing the electrostatic latent image with a toner so as to produce a toner image; and the above-mentioned image transfer medium carrier member.
