Abstract
An image forming apparatus which forms an image by transferring a developed image formed on an image holding member onto a transfer material by a transfer unit. The image forming apparatus is further provided with an induced-charge density suppressing unit. This induced-charge density suppressing unit suppresses the density of electric charge induced in the area of the image holding member which is opposite to an image forming member as a result of stoppage of the image forming member that is opposite to the image holding member and is electrostatically charged.
