Abstract

A perfecting press apparatus for forming images on both sides of a transfer medium. With respect to a transferring current Ipt of an image forming unit, current Ipc is made large which flows from a charge control instrument for controlling charge polarity of the toner on the transfer medium in the direction of the transfer medium. In particular, in the image forming unit causing retransfer, a de-charging light source is installed between the a developing device and a transferring device for canceling charges other than at a latent image part of an image carrier, so that the relationship between Ipt and Ipc is to be 3×Ipc≦Ipc≦6×Ipt, whereby the retransfer is suppressed to minimum for producing satisfied quality of image.
